Lesson Schedule | Summer 2026

 
 

Time to start scheduling for the Summer!

Spring flew by as the studio was closed to allow my family time to welcome Fiona into world, but I have missed and thought of each student so much during our time apart. I can’t wait to get back to seeing you each week and making music together!

Summer Teaching Hours

My teaching days will be:

  • Mondays and Tuesdays at the Hagerstown Studio

  • Wednesdays at the Shepherdstown Studio

As usual, I will be out for two weeks over the summer. This year’s weeks will be:

  • Monday, July 12th - Friday, July 17th - Attending the Nashville Suzuki Institute!

  • Monday, August 24th - Sunday, August 30th - Family Vacation

I know some students have been excited at the prospect of having Fiona present at lessons, while others have been less than enthused - And trust me, I understand both sides! So far Fiona has proven to be a very calm and content baby, so she may be present during the daytime hours on Tuesdays to help her continue feeding and growing well if she is not too much of a distraction during our time together. This will be a work in progress over the summer, please don’t hesitate to bring up any concerns you may have!

Considerations

  • Lesson length: Beginning students start out with a half hour lesson. As time passes our repertoire and technique demands expand and make longer lessons necessary. Students and their families should plan to enroll in:

    • Half hour lesson for Suzuki Book 1

    • 45-minute lesson for Suzuki Books 2 - 3

    • Hour lesson for Suzuki Book 4+

Registration Timeline

  • Current Students: Submit your summer availability in the form below where you will see spaces to enter your name, contact method and your availability for studio locations and times. Consider what progress your child has made in the last few months. Are they ready for a longer lesson? Feel free to discuss any questions with me.

    Current students will get top priority for summer scheduling. Please have these submitted by Friday, May 22nd.

  • Wait List and Incoming Students: Please use the form below to provide your schedule availability for Suzuki violin lessons. Every effort will be made to fit you or your child in for regular lesson. I want as many students as possible to receive a solid Suzuki music education! Please have your availability submitted by Friday, May 22nd. Lesson requests after that date will be subject to studio availability.

Expect the summer 2026 schedule by Monday, May 25th.

New lesson times will begin on monday, june 1st.

Thank you for your help with making a smooth transition to summer lessons!
