Summer Camps and Classes
COVID-19 SUMMER UPDATE
Dear Families,
Thanks so much for bearing with us while we have worked through a lot of unknowns. We remain committed to providing the utmost fun and engaging musical learning to you, as we always have. We know you have been looking forward to music learning activities for your kids, so we’ve come up with options for everyone, for those willing to meet in person, and those who aren’t comfortable yet.
See below for our offerings!
Outdoor In-Person Summer Camps:
While our BIG Summer Camps aren’t feasible given the current climate, we are SO excited to be able to offer outdoor, socially distanced camps for your kids. Students will learn ukulele and world drumming together, and will participate in the same fun musical activities they always have in our BIG camps, musical games and ice breakers, talent show, freeze dance, music and movement, and more.
How will this work?
- Camps are limited to 8 students and 2 staff members. We will take waitlist requests for each week. If we have enough for two camps of 8, we will consider it.
- There will be wellness checks for each student at the beginning of camp each day.
- Each student will be assigned an instrument pack to use throughout the week. They will be sanitized each day, and no other student may use another student’s instruments or materials. Each student will also carry hand sanitizer at all times.
- Students will be socially distanced 6 feet apart. Students who live in the same household may be together. Students ages 9 and up will be required to wear masks, but students under 9 will be mask optional.
- Camp will take place in a well shaded outdoor area. Inclement Weather Days? We aren’t sure yet. If government policies allow us to open our studio on those days, we will. If we can hold camp under a tent, we will. We will do our best to still hold camp on those days, IF we find a way the complies with state guidelines.

Virtual Music Camps, Classes and Lessons:
Online classes that your kids want to take
Our Spring season of online classes were quite successful, from both a social and learning aspect. Surprisingly, my teachers and I have noticed students pick up on musical skills FASTER than in-person classes. The online format seems to allow for more self-reflection, and the current stay-at-home environment seems to lend the kids to more meaningful practice!
The music must go on, and music lessons is a unique field that thrives whether in-person or online. Give your child something to work towards in camp, but then work on the rest of the summer.

Summer Private Lessons
Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn how to jam out on piano, or the proper way to play bar chords. Maybe you’ve always wanted to just pick up the drums, or learn how to sing. Maybe its time to learn how to write that song that has been in your head for years.
We are stuck inside the house for the foreseeable future, and we can’t think of a better time for you to dust off that instrument and play!
Naptown Sings and Plays! offers LIVE, one-on-one online private lessons for students of all ages, kids through adults, and all skill levels, beginner through advanced.
Let’s start learning together…
