Our headquarters building has been a busy hub of excitement lately as students and volunteer teachers reconvene with staff members to kick off another school year.
The Joy of Music School continues to grow. We took in about 50 new applications this summer, says Director of Music Education Julie Carter. That’s a sharp increase over typical levels.
Happily we have about 10 new instructors, which is unusually high as well. But we’re always eager for more help. Know anyone who’d like to pitch in by volunteering their time? Please let us know!
A big part of Julie Carter’s job at the beginning of each school year is matching students with instructors. Most of our students are looking to learn the piano. Incoming students can increase their chances of starting lessons at our School if they’re willing to try another instrument instead of the piano. Wind and brass instruments, for example. We have spots open for students there. Or how about the harmonica? We’ve got a volunteer ready to teach it but no student has signed up yet.
Whatever instrument our students want to play, we’re here to make it happen! If you haven’t seen for yourself, we encourage you to come take a tour of our School. Call us at 865-525-6806 and arrange a visit today!
