The summer is actually a great opportunity for students to advance their musical pursuits. Free from the distractions and time constraints of the school year, students who take private lessons over the summer not only stay sharp, but improve at an accelerated rate. They start the school year way ahead of those who do not touch an instrument for two months. The Janice Center offers lessons in virtually major instrument and our Summer Series is a 44% discount off our regular lesson rates. It is available to new students only.

Just let the authorities at the school know they will be taking the bus to The Janice Center and they\'re all set. If they have to wait any amount of time for their class or lesson to begin, we have a waiting room and also a common area where they can sit an do homework. Also we provide snacks and water. We will always be here until your child is picked up after the class or lesson -- they will never be left alone.
