We hear countless times per month, “I took music lessons when I was a kid but I can’t really play anymore.” We don’t want that to be you . . . or your child! Just like you learn to speak once, read once, and ride a bike once, we want to teach you music in a way where you learn the basics one time and can benefit forever!

When looking to buy your first fiddle, it's important to note that "fiddle" is a colloquial term for the violin, so when shopping at a music store, or searching online, you can use both terms and you'll end up with the same instrument.

Like all instruments, guitars can get expensive, but we hate to tell you to compromise on sound when you are learning guitar. A twangy cheap guitar can sound bad regardless of how well you play it, and we want you to find your practice time rewarding!

When you're looking for a piano to start playing on, any piano is a good piano! Often you can find pianos being given away on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. In fact, the upright piano in our living room right now is an old church piano that was free to a good home.

We want music to become part of our homes . . . a rich family culture our children don't just associate with "practice" a "timer" and "can I be done yet?" But a creative outlet they get to partake in every single day for the rest of their lives!
