My sis and her two kids from faraway Finland are here on vacation. Aside from getting used to the warm tropical weather here, they try to get themselves occupied so they don’t get bored. My sis plans to enroll them in piano lessons today. Good decision. We know learning a new musical instrument does lots of wonders, not just for kids, but for adults as well.

Whether it is the guitar or drums, getting one’s focus into music is good for the soul, a relaxing hobby for most of us. There are so many options for learning a new instrument, and one can browse online at a clarinet store or piano merchant for great deals nowadays. My nephew is still undecided about what musical instrument to learn, he was considering the drums instead of piano. Well, as long as he is having fun with his choice, the learning process is easier at a faster pace.
