Thought you guys would enjoy this info...
You might be wondering what a Certified Financial Planner ™ knows about music lessons for kids. Well, I’ll admit I’m no George Gershwin. But all work and no music makes Neal a very dull Pilgrim. My entire family is actually pretty involved with music. Each of my children has taken up one instrument (at least) and that means, Papa Pilgrim had to crack open the wallet and pay for lessons.
Of course, that means I’ve had to become an expert at getting the best music lessons for my ducklings at the least possible cost. Here’s what I learned along the way.
1. Never ever buy lessons from a music store.
2. Don’t Ask Your Friends
3. Go To Local Middle School and High School Concerts
4. Call Music Stores that Do Not Sell Lessons
5. Forget Craigslist

That was a good read micharch. Thank you for the tips! :) I wanted to learn piano like our neighbor's daughter did but it was too expensive.

The tip about going to high school concerts and finding out who taught the soloists is ingenious! I'll not sleep through the next one LOL. Thanks micharch! :)

I was too lazy to learn an instrument. My brother plays guitar very well and I feel a twinge of jealousy when I hear him do it now. Of course, I conveniently forget all those years I listened to him practising when we were growing up and would scream at him to stop torturing me LOL.

LOL Jewel. :) I enjoy listening to other people play and have never had a burning desire to be up on a stage playing in a band or anything like that. Now ask me if I'd have liked to have been in a movie and that's different. :)
I always felt I missed out as a kid because I didn't get music lessons and wanted to learn the guitar. Of course once you're grown you appreciate they cost money! Thanks for the budget ideas, micharch. :) I may do it yet some day. :)
