"Are Adults Too Busy for Music Lessons?"

By Candace Blankenship

As adults, it is difficult to schedule any time for yourself.  Between family and friends, commitments and daily routines, scheduling a music lesson for yourself and committing to the weekly lesson time is about the last thing on your mind.   In addition, when would you ever find the time to practice those lessons during the week?  That is why Delian Music came up with a solution.  We teach music lessons three different ways in order to satisfy every age group and every student’s need: 

• Method No. 1:  Mostly theory and technique with a little fun thrown in (great for children);  This is more of the old-fashioned way of teaching a musical instrument  with scales, exercises, workbooks and flashcards that young children need to have in order to learn the instrument and to help their cognitive abilities.    Weekly lessons and  practice time of at least 20 minutes a day is a must;

•  Method No. 2:  A combination of theory and technique and a lot more fun.  This method is very popular with teens and young adults.  It is important to have an equal combination of both the technical exercises and songs from the Red Hot Chili Peppers (or your other favorite songs.)This is a little less stringent and more fun, but the student is still getting plenty of the essentials. Weekly lessons and daily  practice time of at least 20 minutes is still expected!!

• Method No. 3:  All fun – no theory or technique – just that one or two songs you have been dying to play since you were a kid and played air guitar to “Stairway to Heaven.”  This is the method most adults like.  We know that you don’t have time to practice those scales and exercises (or that you plain just don’t want to). So – we make it a fun-filled time by getting you into your favorite song(s) quickly.  You can also imagine, if you want to, that you are up on your own stage – in front of a lot of people or in front of no-one.  It is like singing in your shower – although this time you will have a little professional help.  This is the fastest way to get you playing your favorite song on an instrument.  Practice time? – well that is up to you. We do recommend the proverbial 20 minutes at least a day.  You will learn the instrument faster.  But, there is no stress here (except of course to call a day ahead of time if you can’t make the lesson so you aren’t charged.)  If you can’t make it every week and just want to do a lesson sometimes – that is okay too.  You would need to pay for either four or twelve lessons up front but you can use the lessons when you want.  We have special “adult” times also – like after work and on Saturdays.

Don’t have an instrument?  We can supply that also.  We can either rent you the instrument or you can purchase them at very reasonable prices.  Be nice to yourself!! Take that little half hour once a week to have fun on that instrument you always wanted to learn how to play!!  If you don’t do it, nobody else will do it for you. Delian Music teaches almost every instrument.  Piano, guitar, bass, drums, flute, sax, trumpet, trombone, clarinet, violin, cello and voice.  Lessons are once a week ½ hour private instruction.
