Abstract	For most students, summer means "break." It's a chance to put down the books, rest and recharge, attend camp as a participant or a counselor, earn some extra spending money with a summer job, perhaps travel with the family--in general, get away from all things academic. For teachers, the summer can stand for the same thing: vacation, in one form or another, from their school-year duties. But those warm and sunny months away from the classroom can also provide a valuable opportunity to explore new musical territory, further careers, or participate in cultural enrichment that will inform their work once classes are again in session. Teaching music is a passion, and passions don't tend to wane with the changing of seasons. In this article, the author presents some stories and suggestions from teachers who keep working all year long. (ERIC).
