Summer Instrument Explorer: Discovery Sessions
Watch your child discover their perfect instrument this summer without the guesswork or the expense of buying one.
If your child has been asking to play music, you are probably thrilled, but also hesitant to lock into a full-year commitment. You don’t have to guess. Simply select piano, ukulele, guitar, or voice, and over four 45-minute one-on-one sessions, your child will get a true, hands-on feel for their chosen instrument in a safe, encouraging environment.
They will experience those crucial “I can do it!” moments right from day one. By the end of the program, you will both know if that instrument truly speaks to their heart.
Let the musical journey begin!

Got Questions? We've Got Answers
It is a short summer series where students of any age can experiment with a new instrument in a fun, low-pressure setting before committing to regular lessons
Instrument Explorer is a great fit for kids and teens who feel that little spark of curiosity about music—whether they already play one instrument and are dreaming about trying something new, or are wondering what it would really feel like to start learning their favourite instrument for the very first time.
Over two fun‑filled weeks, your child will come for four 45‑minute sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays between July 7 and 16—just enough time to really “try on” a new instrument without a big commitment.
When you register, you’ll share three preferred times between 4:30 and 7:30 pm, and we’ll personally follow up to confirm a fixed class time that fits your family’s routine for the whole program
The investment for a one‑on‑one Instrument Explorer experience is $199 for the full two‑week program. Because these are individual lesson slots, we have limited spots per instrument, so once a time is taken it’s reserved just for your child.
- Four 45-minutes one-on-one sessions over two weeks
- Flexible after‑school time slot between 4:30–7:30 pm (fixed once confirmed)
- Option to rent an instrument for the full program at an accessible fee
- Simple practice roadmap so your child knows what to do at home
- Gentle, low‑pressure coaching focused on confidence and curiosity
- End‑of‑program teacher note to help you decide next steps
No instrument needed. Your child can simply come and explore. For a very accessible fee, you can rent an instrument for the full two‑week program so they can also experience the real practice time at home it takes to improve and make progress
Because Instrument Explorer runs for just two weeks and each one‑on‑one time is reserved especially for your child, we are not able to guarantee make‑up lessons for missed sessions.
If your child needs to miss a class, we will always send a brief recap and simple at‑home practice video/audio ideas so they can keep building on what they’ve already learned. In a few special cases (for example, very young children who would truly benefit from an in‑person catch‑up), we may be able to offer a one‑time make‑up if our schedule allows, and will discuss those situations individually with families.
Give your child the gift of music today!
