2012 Summer Workshops
Dig a little deeper into something that interests you.
We wish we could do workshops all year long. The growth that we see in just a week can trump six months of private lessons.
Who the workshops are for:
Most of our workshops are for ages five and up, although a few have a higher minimum age. For each workshop, we group those who are close in age and ability so that each participant can have the best possible experience. Don't worry, a teenager will not be grouped with a young child!
Many of the workshops are just fine for total beginners, and most can be adapted to students who have years of experience. We are happy to arrange a consultation if you are not sure where you fit.
Schedule:
Our workshops are half-day, one-week commitments, and some can be combined with our Kid Storage summer day camp or other workshops to create a full-day program. The morning session is from 9 AM to 1 PM, and the afternoon session runs from 2 - 5:30 PM. We offer free extended care from 1:00 PM to 2 PM, as well as 8:45 - 9:00 and 5:30 - 5:45.
Tuition:
Tuition for all workshops is the same: $200 for one and $360 for two. If your family participates in three or more workshops, they are $160 each. Plus, all workshops are 10% off until April 1.
Current Eclectic Music students should also be sure to check the special package options before signing up for workshops, as these allow you to qualify for pre-registration for the 2012 - 2013 school year.
Logistics:
All workshops take place at 56 17th St NE in Ansley Park. Drop-off and pick-up in front of the building is okay. Do be mindful of residential permit parking.
Participants in the all-day and morning sessions should bring a bag lunch. Snacks will be provided.
How to enroll:
Registration for our workshops is live. Read more about individual workshops by browsing the links below, or view all workshops by date.
When you're ready, you can register using our online system, or contact us at 404-910-3687 or via email. Erin, Emily, Jane, or Whitney will be happy to help you from 10 to 6 weekdays!
