Park Music Academy
The Park Church Music Academy offers private lessons for Park children/youth and for those in the neighboring community. Lessons could include: piano, guitar, bass guitar, trumpet, or drums. Vocal classes are also a possibility this fall. Sign-ups are limited based on current availability, and interested students will fill out an application.
The purpose of Park Music Academy is to encourage the children and young people in the Park Church congregation and neighborhood to develop musical gifts, and invite the children to use their gifts in the life of the church.
Lessons are taught by the musicians of Park Church and the neighborhood at minimal cost ($10 for ½ hour) to the participants. Students can apply for scholarships if the cost is prohibitive. Most lessons are offered on Wednesday afternoon.
Students will be placed by age and application date. Minimum grade level for private instrumental lessons is 3rd grade, due to the necessity for independent reading and finger strength. Students will be expected to practice on a regular (daily) basis; students who do not practice will lose their time slot when a new session begins. Also, students who miss 2 lessons without notification will also lose their time slot when a new session begins.
Fall Applications will be accepted starting August 10, and lessons will begin the second Wednesday of September, the 14th. The lesson schedule will be set by September 1. The Fall Session of Park Music Academy runs September 14- December 15 with the October 26 and November 23 off. This allows for 11 lessons. A recital/party will be held the afternoon of December 14 for students to show what they have learned. Click here for application form.
