What's New at Rhythm & Grooves Music Academy:

Happy July, Academy families!

Between camps and vacations, time has certainly flown by—and sometimes newsletters get lost in the matrix (sorry about June!).

As summer winds down and a new school year begins, we’re excited to welcome everyone back into the rhythm of lessons, learning, and music-making! Whether you've spent your summer exploring new sounds, traveling, or simply enjoying a break, we’re ready to kick off the fall season with fresh energy and a full schedule of lessons and events.

Summer Camp Success!

We had a great turnout for our 2025 Summer Camp Series. Thank you to all of this year's participants — we hope you had as much fun as we did! Check out a few pictures we were able to capture below.
