The holidays are coming! Here are a few fun ideas to supplement your student’s love and learning of music! Parents and students ask all the time if we can shift directions in lessons and learn something new…the answer is always, YES!
Want to learn a new type of music? Pick up the ukulele or guitar? I’m all for it and flexible! Harper Arts philosophy has always been to foster a love of learning music while supporting student’s interests and passions.
Are you wanting to beef up your musical instrument collection? Deepen your knowledge of world music? Build more interest in your student’s musical hemisphere? I’ve got some ideas!
Do YOU (parents) want to learn an instrument or learn alongside your student? A video parent/adult class is coming soon and some self-teaching books are also linked below.
All links are from Amazon. Harper Arts has recently become an Amazon Associate. Thank you for your support!

My favorite Guitars and Ukuleles!
That Rock Jam ukulele below is an incredible price!! If you want to pick up a ukulele to try, this is the one…you can’t beat the price for the quality you get. The Fender Sonoran is not one that I have seen in person, it just looks really cool and I plan to purchase one soon. The Fender FA-15 is the one I most recommend for beginners ages 10-12. The Loog is so cool! It’s for little littles. Like age 3+. If you have a younger sibling or current student wanting to try guitar, it is such a cool instrument…comes with a book and free app lessons too!
