Lifestyle and Special Interests
Music - Instrumental Music (Toddlers - Teens)
Along with childhood comes a parent’s ability to withstand “music” practice within the four walls of home. From shared experiences as parents we want to assure you the sounds usually sound more like music in the pre-teen and teen years. We all enjoy a good rock or jazz concert. Who knows...maybe your little one will become a professional musician? Just keep those noise-cancelling headphones close. And if you are buying a house, basements are a bonus for sound containment!
With resources ranging from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Orchestra to the Music Settlement Greater Cleveland/Akron is a music powerhouse. See below for recommended venues for lessons and rentals for your children around the region.
