EKS MUSIC SChool
2026 Summer Music Camp
Make Music Part of Summer
Registration Information
Priority registration for EKS Music School Music Summer Camp is available for current EKS students through April 19. Beginning April 20, registration will open to the general public, including new students and former EKS students. We encourage current families to secure their spots early, as Summer Camp space is limited and programs may fill quickly.
Summer Private Lesson Credits
All students currently enrolled in our private or semi-private lesson programs will receive 5 summer lesson credits as part of their annual tuition.
Lesson durations vary (15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes), with a total value ranging approximately from $130 to $525, depending on instructor and lesson length.
You may use your summer credits in one of the following ways:
- Schedule private lessons with your current instructor (recommended by May 15)
- Apply your credits toward one or more summer camps
- Combine both options for a flexible summer plan
This system allows families to stay engaged musically while adapting to summer schedules and goals.
