You might be amazed at just how many adults we get giving us a call, hitting us up on Facebook, dropping us an email, or filling out an enrollment form on our website because they want music lessons at somewhere between the age of 40 and even up to the ’80s, consistently. And we SO love that! These are students who either started learning music when they were young and gave it up, which is incredibly common, or those who never learned an instrument and now realize they really need some kind of a healthy hobby that can keep them busy, be fun, and be a healthy and productive way of spending time that’s not just doom scrolling or Netflix and chill time.
Music is one of the absolute best options for a healthy pastime. And it is so much more than just a healthy outlet, it certainly does that, but let’s be real, music can also be incredibly stimulating for your mental health and emotional well-being. Music can be almost an instant community thing too. You can become a part of the music community. There are countless people at every level from beginner to professional always looking for other musicians to play with and befriend. Music, if you want it to be, can even be a great side gig or even your new work if you want it to be! You want music to be a primary vocation? It can be. Music can be a great career, and it does not have to be a performance or tour oriented thing. Lots of people make their full-time living as musicians whether it be music educators, music technicians, music repair specialists, piano tuners, licensing, marketing, and media…there are so many opportunities to take your passion for music and to put it to work in a way. That can be incredibly fruitful and fun if that’s what you’re looking for.
If you’re an adult looking for any of these things, we are totally here for you! But here’s the other question, do you have kids or teenagers? Do you care about their well-being as adults? Of course you do! Then why make them wait? Until they’re in their forties or beyond. To find music. Introduce them to it now.
