Summer Music Fun

Hi, I’m Richard Carr. I have a Bachelor of Music Education and have taught elementary music for 18 years. My wife, Mary, and I have been homeschooling our children for the past five years.

I would like to provide an opportunity for homeschoolers to have some fun musical enrichment during the summer months.

These two-week sessions would be offered in my home in north Haltom City.

Cost for each two-week session per child:

Younger Group - $32
Middle Group - $45
Older Group - $45

There will be an $8 discount for enrolling three or more children.

The classes have a slight age overlap to allow siblings to be together, if possible.

If you are interested, please contact me by calling me at (817) 656-4062 or emailing me at richardandmarycarr@sbcglobal.net.
