Winter Break - Are they kidding? Any time the kids are here 24/7 it's definitely NOT a break for Mom. Am I right? :)
OK - so maybe you're thinking about New Year's resolutions - clean the garage out, reorganize the kids' rooms, clean out your husband's side of the closet so he can more easily find his things...Ah excuse me - did you forget about yourself? Too many of us do and it's not good for anyone. Not your kids, your husband, your relationship, yourself, etc.
Everyone knows to keep physically active (although we take a day off every now and then ;) but what about your mind? One of the biggest growing epidemics is that of early on set of dementia and Alzheimer’s. Learning new skills is a great way to start the fight against this. Music specifically is a terrific avenue to keep mind, body and spirit moving and growing.
It's never too late to start Mom's!
Happy Practicing!

My child is 2 and LOVES music. Can they take music lessons yet?
More of your questions being answered:
Yes! When kids are very young it's an optimal time for learning!
Many people over look the enormous potential of these early years but it's a great time to begin music!
If you are looking for a private lesson situation, piano, specifically keyboard is a great starter instrument for ages 2 and up.
You want to make sure to find a music company that specializes in curriculum for this young age to keep things age appropriate and most important FUN for these little guys! Also important is choosing a company that can get you an accompanying instrument that is size appropriate for their little fingers!
Happy Practicing!
