Unique Options For Music Lessons

By Madeleine Bridgeman


While children are encouraged to try out an instrument during their later years in elementary school, only certain musical instruments tend to be available to learn in the school setting. While these are certainly a lot of fun to learn, if you opt for private music lessons, you have the option of learning instruments that typically are not available at school.

Many kids these days would love learning how to play the guitar, and there are several different types of guitars to consider. You could opt for the acoustic guitar which is a great way to start out, or perhaps your child dreams of performing in a rock band and wants to learn how to play the electric guitar or bass guitar. In the last few years, many people have been taking ukulele lessons, as well, and this can be an excellent option for a very young musician.

Piano lessons also typically are not taught at school, so private piano lessons are the only option. Some schools offer keyboarding lessons, as well, and students can learn how to use this electronic instrument which is highly versatile, offering many different sounds and even drum beats.

If you don't mind the bustle of practice time, learning how to play the drums can be great fun for a child with a good sense of rhythm. Children can learn percussion instruments at school, including bass drums, snare drums, symbols and other important parts of the percussion section. But if you are hoping to play like Ringo Starr, Lars Ulrich or Keith Moon, you'll need to find a private teacher at a local rock music school to truly learn how to keep the beat. Students are typically very enthusiastic about private drum lessons because they get to accompany songs they really love rather than what the school music instructor selects.

Of course, there are plenty of wild instruments that your child might want to learn. Perhaps he or she wishes to learn the accordion or the mandolin or autoharp. In addition, your child might wish to take vocal lessons or perhaps songwriting lessons or classes in music production. In this case, you will need to find a music school that offers these types of lessons, such as Los Rios Rock School in San Juan Capistrano.

If you need San Clemente music lessons, Dana Point music lessons or perhaps Laguna Niguel music lessons, Los Rios Rock School is nearby and offers private lessons in virtually any instrument you can imagine, as well as voice lessons and songwriting classes. Students not only enjoy a weekly one-hour lesson, the tuition also includes an actual rock band experience. The students form bands and perform at popular Orange County venues such as the House of Blues or Stillwater or the Coach House.
