School's closed!
Online Class Offerings
While school is closed, many of the vendors that have taught classes at JSIS will be offering online classes. The following is a list of classes we are aware of from these vendors. Registration and questions around classes should be directed at each respective vendor.
We will continue to update this list as we receive more information from our regular JSIS ASA vendors!
6Crickets
6Crickets has launched a public online marketplace to help parents find and register for live online enrichment classes from quality providers specializing in STEM, art, chess, foreign languages, debate, sewing, cooking and much more! You will find many of the vendors you have worked with at JSIS here plus others.
Smart with Art
Join us for an interactive LIVE art class, just like our after-school enrichment classes!
Supplies will be items you have around your house. This live class is on Tuesday, 4/7 @ 2pm.
We will be learning all about PANDAS! Building our drawing skills, working with printmaking and discovering the art of collage.
Grab a friend and join us! Looking forward to creating with you all.
Owner, Amy Friedman will be leading this LIVE art class along with veteran Smart with Art instructor, Kimberly Flynn.
It's going to be 75 minutes of fun filled creativity, we hope you can join us!
Piano Playground
The piano lessons will be held online, from our studio to your home! The duration is 30-minutes and held once weekly; each lesson is $40. A weekly day/time can be set up directly with our instructor. If you're not sure this format will work well for your child, try out one lesson to check it out! We have many students currently enrolled in online piano lessons who are thriving.
--------
Piano Playground offers fun and engaging piano lessons, available in either a private lesson format (1 student). Students learn note-reading from the grand staff, music theory, rhythm and ear training, musical expression, healthy technique, and creative composition in an interactive and exciting format. Students especially enjoy learning songs that they choose, as well as popular hits by Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragon and themes from Star Wars, Mission Impossible, Hamilton and other popular shows. The lessons combine traditional methods with innovative activities that keep students self-motivated and inspired to learn more.The partnered lessons are most ideal for beginner students.
--------
These piano lessons are for beginner and intermediate level students. Absolute beginners are welcome too! At least a keyboard will be needed, and a video chat program like Skype, Facetime, Messenger, Google Hangouts or another program where students and teachers can see other and their keyboards. Internet connection is needed.
Seattle Magic Academy
We are offering an online interactive magic course through Zoom video! I will deliver the magic course materials to your homes, with each week's tricks and secret file folders in a separate envelope to be opened during each class.
Registrations are open now, and classes will be every Friday for 8 weeks starting April 3rd from 1:45PM-3PM. We will be offering the same coursework and magic materials that we offer in our regular classes, but for a substantial discount. The price for the class will be $208.88, but we have a special 10% off coupon code that is good through Wednesday March 25th, bringing the price down to $188 (well, actually $187.99, but we like the number 8). If school does go back into session in late April (which is kind of looking doubtful), we will adjust the time to be after-school time, and work with the school to see about bringing it back in-person.
This will be the same Green Wand course that was going to be held in spring for JSIS (we have 4 different color wand courses, all with different magic tricks). I am also offering some of my other wand courses in public classes, but this Green Wand course will be only for JSIS students, so the kids can interact with their friends.
The 10% off coupon code is JSIS10. It is good through Wednesday, March 25. Registration closes the end of day Tuesday, March 31, so I can get the materials to you before the first class.
