5 Reasons Why Summer Lessons Are Awesome!

Hello and Happy July to all our wonderful PFMA families!  I was so happy and impressed with our students at the June Showcase Recitals!  We have so many talented students who are progressing nicely on their instruments.

We love seeing all our students in the summer continue with their lessons.  We see so much progress during these months and it makes such a big difference to keep the learning consistent.  Here are the top 5 reasons why music lessons are awesome in the summer:


  1. The brain keeps working during a time when student’s minds can become mushy.Music lessons are amazing for it is the only thing that uses the entire brain.When the brain is kept active, it is better prepared for heading back to school in the fall.
  2. Summer is less busy.Our students love the more laid back days they have in the summer.This gives them extra time to practice and really hone in on their instrumental skills.
  3. Summer is a great time to experiment with different genres of music and more “fun” music.Especially after recitals, a lot of our students like to do different things than the norm in their lessons to expand their learning.
  4. Summer can be brutally hot, but our school is cool!You can get out of the heat and do something productive while staying cool!
  5. Students can continue their progress without losing their place on the musical ladder.Consistency is key for making it up the ladder and our students love seeing the progress they make and the trophies getting bigger!
Keep up the great work and happy music making!

Pet of the Month:
Jelly the Jellyfish​

This is Jelly, the jellyfish. He has one brother, Butter, and another that passed away, Peanut. Together, the three of them were, Peanut Butter and Jelly. Jelly enjoys his time pulsing around in his tank and eating brine shrimp. He’s been in our home only since December, so he’s still fairly new. He has four “oral arms” used for catching brine shrimp. He also has four “horseshoe shaped” stomachs. After Jelly eats, his tummies will be full of shrimp and bright orange. We love having Jelly with us! 

Congratulations to Jelly for being named Pet of the Month!  His family will receive a $5 gift card to Petco to buy something special for Jelly to celebrate!

Do you have a pet you would like to enter into our monthly contest?  Just email a picture and short bio of your pet to info@postfallsmusicacademy.com.
