Not many families want to invest hundreds of dollars a month in their kids' musical education. Nor do they want to invest the commute hours or the challenges of getting a child of the 21st century to practice.
But then, people do invest in some things that make no sense.
A parent who turns away paying $150 a month for lessons with a good teacher will happily make a car payment of $400 a month.
And a car goes down in value. By definition, it's the worst thing you can invest in.
By the time you pay off a $40,000 car, you're lucky if it's worth $10,000. Plus, comforts aside, it does the exact same job as a $3,000 car. Point A to point B.
But when we invest in ourselves and in our kids, it's always a return on investment.
Because we go up in value.
Whether it's investing in music, art, health, fitness, wellness, and the list goes on. As long as we're pursuing new endeavors, we're growing.
And every day, becoming more than we thought we could be yesterday.
Never miss a blog post!
For parents, students, and anyone else who believes that music can and should be a meaningful part of everyone's life.

Logic tells us this: Practicing 5 minutes for six days would be the same as practicing 30 minutes for one day. It adds up to the same total minutes, so the benefits are the same.
