Summer Piano Programming

“We call piano camp “best week of the summer.” My 9 year old absolutely loves the extra time with her teacher and comes back feeling more connected to her and to the school in general. It’s really amazing to have a place for our child where she feels so at home. Like a lot of kids, she doesn’t have much to say about her camps at the end of the day, but that’s totally different with this camp. She comes home and teaches us new songs and music games and practices the new piano music she learns. Her willingness and interest in practicing has grown leaps and bounds. Since camp she has talked about how she is really focused on getting better at piano this year and we’ve never seen her more motivated to practice. The teachers are so wonderful and fun! If we could send her every week of the summer, we would.”

“Our two kids’ week of SWS camp was so wonderful! They had a blast and asked if they could do it for more than one week next year. They made friends with kids they wouldn’t have met otherwise, enjoyed the craft projects/games/outside time at the creek, and learned a LOT. The teachers really got to know them, and now we know more of the SWS teaching team. I truly can’t say enough about the fabulous week that this camp was, and we’ll definitely be signing up again!”

“I think the summer piano camps were good both for the students and for us as teachers. I had the chance to meet more of the school’s students, get closer to my colleagues, and see more clearly the students’ needs and how our teaching method comes to life every day.
As for my students, I noticed that they came back in September in good shape, without having forgotten things. But the most important thing they gained from the summer camps was the chance to perform and collaborate with each other, becoming more confident musicians!”
