STUDENT APPRECIATION

OPEN HOUSE!

Thanks to YOU, the Academy of Music was voted ‘Best Music Lessons’ in Grand Rapids! To show our appreciation, we are planning two open house celebrations – complete with food, games, music, and more! We would love to have YOU join us!

Saturday, August 7 from 10am – 2pm (Jenison Location)

Saturday , August 14 from 10am – 2pm (Grand Rapids Location)

FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND HOURS

As a reminder, we will not be having any lessons July 3rd 4th and 5th. We hope you have a super fun holiday weekend! Lessons will resume again Tuesday the 6th.

EARLY BIRD FALL REGISTRATION AVAILABLE

Free $30 Registration

Get entered in a back-to-school $50 Amazon gift card drawing!

Expires 7/31/21

We just recorded our highest June registration in the history of the Academy of Music – 86 new students as of this writing! The jammin’ summer session we predicted has begun!

What does that mean to you? A lot of our teachers are already full. They have no spots available. Even though we do have some availability at each of our 2 locations, it varies between locations and instruments. What we don’t want to happen is for somebody to try to call us for fall registration in August and discover we have no spots for them. If you want to join us in the fall, the best way to do that is to choose an early bird registration. Sign up for lessons to begin in July, or you can choose to register up to 30 days in advance and begin in August. (1st month prepaid, no refunds). Either option will help you grab one of the prime time spots between 3:30 and 7:30 or help you conveniently register more than one student.

If you register early and still have a week of vacation planned, don’t forget we have 4 great make-up options for you.

  1. Zoom in for your lesson.
  2. Request a pre-recorded makeup for your lesson with advanced notice.
  3. Take advantage of our group makeup options.
  4. Sublease your spot to a family member or friend.

Contact the office in July, and our friendly staff can help you choose the best spots on the schedule! Or reply to this newsletter and let us know you would like a call from us to answer all of your questions.

JOIN THE PRACTICE CLUB!

NEW WAYS TO WIN WITH PRACTICING – The Academy PRACTICE CLUB! It’s easy to join. All you have to do is take a photo of yourself practicing, post it on social media, and tag the Academy of Music. Each tag enters you to win a $25 Amazon gift card. We’ll have one drawing each month this summer beginning June 1st.

A REMINDER ABOUT REMINDERS

Are you getting reminders every week about your lessons? The Academy can send a text directly to you two hours before your lesson so that you never have to worry about forgetting. Talk to the Student Service Coordinators for help getting set up!

SUMMER GUESSING GAME

YOU COULD WIN A MONTH OF FREE LESSONS! Don’t miss out on this opportunity– every week, stop by the front desk to make a guess of how many rocks are in the jar. You only get one guess every week, so don’t let it go to waste! This will be going all summer long (drawing on August 31st), so stay enrolled and by the end of summer you could be our winner!!!
