few months ago, we wrote about a website we had just learned about called Take Lessons. We are so impressed with their services that we wanted to share information with you again! Growing up in a family of singers, music has been a huge part of my life. From a young age, I was singing and couldn't wait to begin learning instruments. Now that I have kids, they are also excited to start lessons, but I was worried about lessons being offered where we live. Thanks to TakeLessons.com, I was able to find something for both of the kids that they will love.

TakeLessons.com Helps Bring Music & Joy To Your Family

One of the first things I can remember about my childhood is listening to music with my mom and singing songs in the car. I come from a long line of gospel singers, so we spent many weekends on the road attending concerts and practicing for performances! That's why music became such an important part of my life at such an early age and why it still is. In middle school, I began playing flute and taking piano lessons. By high school, I was taking percussion lessons, playing drums in the marching band and performing for chorus and school plays. I also started taking voice lessons, which was one of my most favorites! Once I started college at UGA, I became a part of Glee Club, too!
I think music expanded my horizons and offered me opportunities that I would not have received otherwise. Not only was I able to travel to many places around the world for competitions, such as New Orleans and London, but I gained confidence in myself as a person and a musician. These are the reasons why I want my own children to have these opportunities with music. Josiah has taken music appreciation at school already and, after attending a music concert recently, he said he wants to learn how to play piano. I've taught my children the rhythm basics, but they will need more instruction to master instruments. This is why I was excited to find TakeLessons.com.

TakeLessons.com is the place to find local music and singing lessons. I did a search for our small town of Canton, Georgia and found 25 results within 20 miles of our house! I had no idea there were so many options. I was also able to learn about each of the instructors, giving me more insight into the person so we could find someone who was the best fit for our needs and a great match for Josiah's personality. You can even find in-home and on-line instructors!
Prices vary depending on location and length of each lesson, but TakeLessons.com has a great deal going on right now! You can receive 20% off any of their lesson packages from now until April 1st with the code: SPRINGMUSIC.

This is such a great opportunity for your children and I highly recommend checking out the website. Since 2006, TakeLessons has worked with over 30,000 students nationwide! Plus, there is a 100% money back guaranteed, so if your child does not enjoy the first lesson, they will find another instructor or refund your money. Not only can you find the lessons your child wants, but you can pay for the lessons and manage your account just by logging. It's so easy to use!

I remember when I needed to find a voice instructor and it was so difficult to find someone in our area. I actually had to visit a local college and search the music department in order to find someone, but not anymore! I love this resource and found it so helpful. I know it will be in the future when looking for Liam's lessons, too. He has already expressed an interest in learning the guitar and I would love for him to give it a try!

Do your kids express interest in learning how to play an instrument? Or do they love to sing? Check out TakeLessons and see what is available nearby! Don't forget to use the code SPRINGMUSIC for 20% off your purchase of lesson packages!

We Can Listen To Music Anytime

Coming from a family of musicians, music has always been an important part of my life. I've been in bands, play several instruments and love going to see bands play live. Now that I'm a mom, life has slowed down quite a bit, but I still listen to a great deal of music. I enjoy listening to lesser known electronic bands like Dntel and Postal Service. Being up in the mountains, let's just say those are not available to purchase on CD, so I download songs to get the song I enjoy. It's such an easy way to get music and is available immediately. I can listen to it on my computer, iPad and MP3 player during the day, which is awesome. Another wonderful reason I download is because the songs are free!

Lately we've been in the car more often. We travel each week to Atlanta for my son and those two-hour trips can seem like much longer, especially with kids in the car. Many of our local stations have recently turned into sports talk radio, which just isn't interesting to me. Only one of my favorite stations still exists, so most of the time I cannot find anything to listen to, but I have found a solution. All of the songs I downloaded can be added to a CD! How? All I had to do was find a great cd burner. Then, I could easily add all of my favorite songs into the program and burn them straight onto a cd!

Since downloading songs I have also found some great new music artists I'd never heard of before! Plus, I can listen to DJ stations with my favorite types of music. No more waiting for my favorite song to pop up on my radio. I can listen anytime!

In addition to adding my favorite songs and music artists, I've found music for my kids. This is another great way to make it through the long car trips and with the upcoming holidays we will be traveling so often that this will be perfect! I've even mixed a few cds that have half of my music and half of theirs. This way we both get to listen and everyone is pleased.

Who is your favorite music artist or group? Have you downloaded music yet? Give it a try and I bet you will never look back!
