FAQs

Why are students required to do summer piano? 

The #1 most important reason is because we work so hard on audiation and piano with your child during the school year. To just walk away from that for months over the summer creates a pretty major setback in the fall.

The second reason is that all Songs with Sarah teachers are employees and need consistency in their job and pay. The last thing we want is for our piano teachers to have to scrounge up part-time summer work, especially given the amazing summer program we launched last year in 2025!

Why can't I keep my regular time slot all summer?

We know there are some families that wish for this, but the majority of our clients have told us they like the flexibility in our summer program. Our teachers also love the separate programming that involves students working together in camps/group lessons and being able to meet and teach more students. Our camps last year were unbelievable in the way they brought a community of young students together to create and learn all day!

How do I register?

Camp registration will be done internally. You will fill out a form with your top choice, second choice, etc. We will place students in each camp in order to have an even mix of levels. We will do this as quickly as possible so that you have your summer schedule solidified!

Why are Keyboard Games students no longer in mixed ages camps?

This was a tough call, but over all our week-long camps seemed much better suited for students that were in Music Moves Books 1 and up. We will be offering a Keyboard Games only camp that is half-day and very similar to the camps we ran last year. Keyboard Games students will also have opportunities to take group lessons over the summer.
