Performance Dates Announced.  Our All Student Winter Showcase dates are out.  This is when our students perform for families and friends in December.  Winter Showcases will be held at our Locks location again this year to showcase students by ILS site.  Refer to the calendar on the left for your site’s date and time.  Music students will receive an additional set of dates for our Winter Music Recitals.

Music & Art Add-ons.  One thing parents tend to compliment us on is our ability to add music lessons for students during the hours they attend after school.  If you have not yet signed up your student yet this fall, we have many private and group lessons available in Piano, Guitar, Ukulele, Percussion, Flute and Voice.  Mr. Sam also teaches an Advanced Art class.  For more information please visit www.ilsmusicstudio.com or email music@ilskids.com.   First time music students will receive 25% their first two months of private lessons this fall.
