Instrument lessons and budget for many kids...

[stephanie]

I was just wondering how parents of multiple children budget instrument lessons monthly? My ds9 has guitar lessons that are $75/month, and he is the only one learning an instrument. However, now my 3 other dc would like to start one. Is it just something that you just budget in every month or is there some trick or maneuvering that I'm not aware of? Are there any places that teach and are affordable that I'm not aware of? Thanks!

I wrote to a music store in town to ask if they'd do group lessons in my home. And, they will! They are even going to give us a group rate. I don't remember what it was, but I remember it being cheap enough that we could swing it!

Great idea! I never thought about that. What instrument did y'all agree on to do together?
