BEST OF ALL - No practice required!
Students work hard to make practice time possible during the school year. This is the summer and
The Lark's Nest Music Studio is going to do things differently. Summer Piano Safari is all about offering a camp that includes playing the piano, making music, and interactive lessons where students learn about the interesting world that surrounds them, plus having fun with friends and meeting new people.
So, no practice required.
