WHAT CAMPERS & PARENTS SAY

 

Experiences Straight from the Students

“Absolutely, I would come back to summer camp next year!”

– Camper

Why Families Love Our Summer Camp

Summer Camp

“Our 2 daughters have been taking piano lessons at Franklin Music Academy for a few years and it’s been amazing to see how much they’ve grown musically over that time. The most recent recital was evidence of that growth – both kids were confident on stage and played their hearts out!”

– Javier H.

Summer Camp Builds Confidence – In Their Own Words

Summer Camp

“My son has been going to Franklin Music Academy for under a year and I see progress with each lesson. Things don’t always come easy for him and he tends to be hard on himself but JP is patient and works with him to build confidence. JP provides a balanced environment that allows the kids to have fun while learning.”

– Rosie A.

No problem! Our Austin summer music camp is designed for all skill levels, and beginners are welcome. Our expert instructors create a supportive, hands-on environment where kids can explore music at their own pace.

To provide a well-rounded foundation, we teach children how to read music, making our program one of the most comprehensive music camps nearby.

No, we provide everything! Campers will have access to pianos, guitars, drums, and more. If your child has an instrument at home, they’re welcome to bring it, but it’s not required.

If your child gets sick, please keep them home to rest and recover. Unfortunately, we can’t offer refunds, but we’ll do our best to provide resources so they don’t miss out entirely.

If your child will be taking medications of any kind during camp hours, you must fill out a Medication Form. This includes over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol, Benadryl and vitamins. This form must be turned in to the Camp Director with the medication in its original container on the first Monday your child attends camp. All medications will be dispensed by the Camp Director per the label and your instructions. Medications abandoned at camp will be disposed of if not claimed in a reasonable amount of time.

We do not administer shots or EpiPen. If your child needs medication or insulin injections while at camp, you or another authorized party must come to camp to administer them when needed.

Campers will showcase what they’ve learned in a live music performance for family and friends. Parents will receive advanced notification with details.

No, but our camp runs longer than most summer music camps in Austin, ensuring kids get plenty of time for music lessons, interactive activities, and hands-on learning.

Yes! After registering, you’ll receive a confirmation email with all the details you need, including drop-off instructions, daily schedules, and what to bring.

Campers should dress for active play each day. Your child should bring or wear the following items to camp:

  • Comfortable shorts and T-shirts
  • Athletic shoes and socks (no flip-flops or Crocs)
  • Refillable water bottle
  • Hat or cap & sunscreen (for any outdoor activities)
  • Lunch & snacks (we provide mid-morning snacks — please notify us of allergies)
  • Backpack to keep belongings together

Please label everything.
Please label everything and leave toys, electronics, and gaming devices at home to ensure a distraction-free learning environment.
