PMA Summer 2021

Classes, Camps,Workshops At-A-Glance

PMA offers a variety of learning opportunities, throughout the Summer.  It is a great time to try something new.  Consider taking up a new musical instrument or exploring a different form of dance.  Current students can continue to engage and improve in their chosen art form, while those new to PMA can discover a new passion.  If you like it, sign up for our classes this Fall.  Don’t forget our wonderful Summer Camps and Workshops.  They are another great way to enjoy the arts, experience something new and have fun!

Additionally, we offer private music lesson and group dance class options during our summer season.  Learning an art form is a lifelong process of growth, development, and improvement. We encourage current students to continue their studies during the Summer.  Many of the arts require skills that can deteriorate if too much time is spent without practice.  Please see the chart below to quickly reference our information.

See the PMA Policies & Procedures.
