While I agree that it's good to take a break from the rigorous daily practice schedule that you follow during the school year, you shouldn't stop practicing altogether. To ensure that that you maintain your skills and continue to make progress, here are ten fun musical styles to explore during the summer months:
1. Jazz
2. Blues
3. Rock
4. Easy Listening
5. Popular
6. Disney
7. Broadway
8. Movie Themes
9. Patriotic
10. Cultural Music (for example, Chinese folk tunes)
Other ideas to try:
1. Compose an original piece
2. Host a talent show for you and your friends
3. Throw a musical party and sight-read duets, trios, and quartets
4. Organize small performances throughout your neighborhood or community
These are some ideas to make music engaging and fun during the summer months. Whatever ideas you incorporate, make sure to keep practicing!
