We’re so lucky to be living in what some may call “The Age of Information”, where we can pull up the answers to our questions in seconds or watch a video about nearly any topic you can imagine. I mean, look how many of us used our time in lockdown to teach ourselves how to bake bread or become a budding home gardener!

While things certainly may still be up in the air and not 100% back to the way they were, it is exciting to be able to see life slowly beginning to look a little more like we were used to before! Now that the places we know and love are beginning to open up many of us are eager to get out of the Zoom rut some of us have found ourselves and our children in, but we now have more to consider than ever.

2020 has been a complete whirlwind and has presented so many unprecedented challenges for everyone, from healthcare workers to business owners, their employees, and of course PARENTS! With kids at home 24/7 it became a challenge to try to balance their lives and not let the quarantine become a time of all day video games and tablet time. It was time to find new hobbies and activities, and learning music is a great skill that keeps kids engaged and benefits them for many years to come.
