This Holiday Season… Give The Gift of Music!

Music Is A Major Gift That Keeps On Giving
— Kathy McClary

Music lessons are a phenomenal gift for anyone.  Children, spouses, friends, siblings, and even grandparents are excited and inspired when they receive the gift of Music during the holidaysWhen you give the gift of music education, it will lift them up and encourage them to have more joy and excitement and a renewed sense of learning something new and fun.

Music Builds Character in Children

We all know just how many toys children get for Christmas… it's a lot. And… before you know it, these gifts are forgotten about or quickly outgrown. So, instead, try giving them something they'll enjoy for years to come. Research shows life experiences provide happiness that lasts longer than possessions do. So, when you give the gift of lessons, you are gifting experiences, which is a great way to extend the season's joy all year long. So, surprise that child in your life with the gift of music lessons.

Spouses Are Amazed

Do you have that spouse that is a challenge to buy a gift for? Give them the gift of music!  Relationship building happens when we share something with our partners. And.. it is NEVER too late to learn the language of music. The difference between the language we speak and the language of music is that we use symbols instead of letters, and we use sound to share and explore our lives with each other.  The Gift of Music lessons for your spouse will be a fun and thoughtful surprise by giving them something unique, interesting and fun!

Friendships are Strengthened

Quite often, we have a student who will show up for their lesson with a friend in tow and says (with wide, hopeful eyes and a big smile), "Can _____ stay for the lesson? Of course, we are always beyond thrilled when this happens. At the end of the lesson, the friend is excited and has learned how to play something. So, this holiday season, consider giving that hard to buy for friend the gift of music. Friendships are strengthened with clever and fun gift-giving, and within no time, they will be showing YOU what they have learned in their lessons!

Family Members are Musically Inspired! 

We've all got that family member— more than one — who can't stop talking about Pearl Jam on Facebook or posting daily about their commute jams on Instagram. We've got the brother or sister who brings their guitars to every family reunion or campfire sesh. Or the ones who make a playlist for every holiday and road trip. Give the gift of music lessons to those family music lovers who bring harmony and melody into our lives. They will love it!

Remember, music lessons are an investment that genuinely lasts a lifetime. You are never too old or too young to continue to participate in the great Art of Music!
