The 2010 summer program

Join us this summer for a continuation of our introduction to the composers! Summer 2010 will be known as the Swingin' Summer here at Inspire as we introduce students to the composers from the 1900s through the 1950s. Ever heard of Jelly Roll Morton? Or the Glenn Miller Band? (And, by the way, Jelly Roll Morton is not a dessert!) Join us in our quest to learn about different genres of piano music and composers. Our 8-week session runs from June 21 through August 14. You can sign up for both 4-week sessions or pick your weeks as your vacation schedule allows.
