Have you been thinking about getting your child music lessons but you’re not sure how to fit it into your busy schedule? Wouldn’t it be great if someone would just come out to your house and sit down with your kids for an hour or so and teach them to play fun music?

I just found out about a great program that will do just that for families living in the Greater Boston and Metro West areas: Jammin’ with You. Jammin’ with You will send trained professionals (who just happen to be great with kids and teens) out to your house to work with your kids—on your time!

Children can learn to play a number of different instruments, including piano, guitar, bass, drums, saxophone, clarinet, flute, violin, or voice. Whether your child is a beginner or is already taking lessons at school and wants to refine their skills, the Jammin’ with You teachers can help them right along.

I was really excited to see that Jammin’ with You also offers Music Therapy services. As the parent of a special needs child I can attest to the wonderful results to be gained through professional music therapy. In fact, I’ve written an article explaining the benefits of music therapy.

Jammin’ with You also offers weekly group lessons for 3, 4 and 5 year olds through the Creative Movement and Arts Center in Needham. And it looks like they are planning a future kids’ choir program, too! How exciting! You can learn more about all their programs and pricing here.

For a first hand look at some amazing students from Jammin’ with You, check out their YouTube Channel. Here is my favorite video of cutie-pie kindergartener Mark playing piano:

Music for Aardvarks and Other Mammals is a hip music program for children aged 6 months thru 5 years based on the original children’s music of David Weinstone.

David started writing songs for his children back in the ’90s, passed the tapes (yes, back in the days of tapes!) to his playgroups and before he knew it word had spread and he had begun his first class in the basement of a restaurant in the East Village!

Now, years later, his music is often heard on Noggin and Jacks’ Big Music Show and his class programs have spread throughout the nation.

And now the Aardvarks are coming to the Boston area! Stacey Peasley is bringing David’s program to the metrowest area and starting Music for Aardvarks and Other Mammals right here in Natick!

You can visit the Boston Aardvarks page to learn more about the classes being offered in Natick, or check out David’s Music for Aardvarks to find out more about the program.
