Summer ’22 Registration Now Open!

Hello Everyone!

Even as we work towards the events that highlight the spring, it’s also time for us to start looking ahead to the summer!

Registration for the Summer ’22 Semester at West County Strings will run April 1-30, and as always we are so excited to continue working with all of our current students, and to welcome new students and their families into our community.

Summer is such an incredible time of opportunity for students to learn and grow. When students get even just one restful week of break from school during the school year, the positive effects are immediately and unmistakably noticeable in their playing. Apply that to the 12 weeks of the summer, and students can make incredible development in their musical ability, and have a lot of fun doing it!

As always, registration over the summer at West County Strings is more flexible than during the school year. Families are free to sign up for only the weeks they know they’ll be in town and will want lessons, and we can accommodate requests for different days and times on different weeks, if needed.

You can download your Summer ’22 Registration Form here, and return it by email to Mr. Brad (bradleytkay@gmail.com), or bring it to your lessons in April. We look forward to seeing you all this summer!

Congratulations!

Ms. Kirby and I want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to:

  • Tarini K. and Aaron W., who won seats in this year’s St. Louis High School All-Suburban Orchestra.
  • Kaya M. and Alan S. who won seats in this year’s Missouri All-State Orchestra.
  • Aaron W., who also placed in this year’s St. Charles County Youth Symphony Concerto Competition.

If we missed any All-Suburban (middle school or high school), All-State, or SYCCO Concerto Competition winners, please let us know, so that you can be recognized!

We recognize that doing well in any event like these is not something that can be done by last-minute preparation, but rather is the result of consistent dedication, and steady improvement over many years, which certainly deserves to be applauded.

With so many more opportunities for students coming up this spring, we can’t wait to see all that you will accomplish! It truly is rewarding and motivating to see what started as seeds of musical ability being nurtured, developing, and flourishing.
