St. John’s Summer Music Program is a free program which offers music lessons to any child or adult in our community. A college student who is majoring in music is hired to give these lessons (typically Monday through Thursday). Piano is always offered along with whatever instruments the teacher can handle (usually most band instruments). We even have a handful of instruments on hand that a student can use for the summer. At the end of the summer students will have the opportunity to participate in a recital, showcasing their summer progress.
This is a good, no risk, way for your child to keep the rust off during the summer months (if they have lessons during the school year) or to dip a toe into the musical world (if they have never tried an instrument before). More importantly it is an avenue into the great world of music and God’s connection to this wonderful art. What better way to enjoy God’s beauty than music and his Word?
Hannah Caauwe, 2025 Teacher
Hannah Caauwe majors in church music at Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, MN. There she is involved in nearly every musical ensemble on campus: Concert Choir, Handbells, Chamber Orchestra, Concert Band, and Jazz Ensemble. This spring Hannah performed her junior recital on piano and organ. She is also a regular chapel organist and occasionally plays organ for area church services.
She is looking forward to working with students of all kinds this summer to take their musical skills to the next level and to give beginners a great introduction to the world of music.
This summer we will also offer lessons in Marshall, MN. Lessons on Thursdays will be held at Samuel Lutheran School in Marshall.
