Summer School

Empowering the Next Generation of Musicians:

Our Summer 2026 School Partnerships

This summer, we took our passion for music education to new heights! Building on our highly successful, ongoing collaboration with the Bellevue School District at Stevenson Elementary, we proudly expanded our footprint into the Lake Washington School District with an unforgettable program at Alexander Graham Bell Elementary.

Across both districts, we dynamicized summer learning for over 230 elementary students through a high-energy, hands-on curriculum. Our mission goes far beyond teaching notes—we are sparking lifelong passion. By breaking down barriers to classical and contemporary music, we left these young learners with a profound appreciation, newfound confidence, and an undeniable excitement for the world of music.

A massive thank you to the incredible staff at Bellevue School District and Lake Washington School District for their seamless coordination in making these sessions a resounding success!
