This summer we will not be hosting any summer camps in large groups. Instead we have opted to teach small groups and private lessons for families that want to attend our music studio and seek a more hands-on music program. Alternatively, students may register for online music lessons, if applicable.
2022 Summer Program
For students who are new to our music school and have limited to no experience in playing instruments, we have designed a Beginner Group Guitar Class that is suitable for kids ages 7 to 12. Learn guitar songs and play music with others. At the end of the summer there will be a concert for families to attend.
Alternatively, there are private lessons kids can attend to fast-track their experience. End of summer concert is still applicable for private students. Private students will be able to select either piano, drums, bass guitar, guitar, or ukulele. This program has limited seats available. Contact us now to register!
We have online classes for kids of all ages all summer long. Limited seats available. Contact us for more information on alternative music lessons.

Mission
Provide the tools and knowledge to enable students to learn how music can inspire them to create and express themselves.
What To Expect
The Franklin Music Academy summer camp is a week long journey of dynamic discovery through music and movement for all musical skill levels. This music summer camp is great for elementary school and middle school students. Campers must be at least age 7 to 12 years old. (Some exceptions may be given). There are also leadership opportunities for older campers with music experience up to 18 years old. This camp provides an opportunity for kids to explore the connection between music and movement by giving them hands-on instruction playing drums, guitar, keyboard, bass, and singing. Our kinesthetic approach connects rhythm, movement, and expression through a quick morning yoga session, performance, and interactive games.
Campers Will Enjoy
We have a variation of activities that campers will enjoy throughout our week-long music summer camp to keep kids having fun and learning. While our camp has a heavy emphasis on music education, it is important to break up the day with activities. Each activity provides leadership roles for older students and the right mix of fun for the younger students.
