In an effort to better serve our community during this time, the JSU Music Academy will be implementing three main instruction formats this fall: in-person group sessions, online group sessions, and individual sessions.
We are currently working on updating our online registration system to reflect these options. In the meantime, we’d like to hear from you, our community, what your personal preferences are regarding instruction for the fall. Please take a moment to complete this brief survey to help us serve you better at this time.
We are in this together. It is through this understanding that we will continue to prioritize providing sound music education in our area and empowering our students to make music in a mindful, fun, and creative way.
We appreciate your feedback. Please respond by Monday, August 7th.
