Are you embarrassed that your child doesn't know or can't remember scriptures from the Bible like you used to when you were a kid?
Do you want your child to be equipped to face this world without you?
Have a longing to pass on your Godly heritage to your children but don't know how?
Follow this method using any scripture to help your child hide God's word in his/her heart.

A few years ago, I was asked to leave the classroom and teach music at a school that never had a music teacher. Music is my thing but teaching it the way public school requires you to is another thing that I wasn't too confident in.
Listen in to today's episode as I navigated the complicated feeling of incompetence and turned to the one who created me! Complete confidence in Him was what allowed me to break through the limitations...and guess what I used?!?! You guessed it....MUSIC! Now I am free to teach my daughter the same thing because I know it's inevitable....she will face similar situations of feeling incompetent and less than....

I used to worry about how I'd teach my daughter all those things mother's teach their daughters. I overthink a lot of things and this was one of them. My mother taught me to read before I reached school, she taught me how to make different meals, how to maintain a house...she did such a great job training me and I figured out that I'd never measure up. That's when I decided to use what I know and teach what I know using MUSIC
Listen to this episode to hear the 7 significant things that you can teach your child using music!

Today I am sharing the benefits of learning the piano and how it will benefit you and your kids!
Of course there are many more benefits, but these are the ones most important to me as a mother.
Grab a notebook and jot these down! These are coming from https://pianu.com/blog/learning-piano-benefits-your-brain and https://www.lindebladpiano.com
It's never too early or late too start. You can start at 8 or you can start at 80 years of age, the benefits will still appear. After hearing the top 3 benefits, you will want your child to enroll ASAP and maybe even YOU will want to learn!
