GIVE YOUR CHILD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT OR SING IN A CHOIR
The Bible tells us in Psalm 150:6 , “ Let everything that has breath praise the Lord !” Taking piano lessons , learning an instrument in a band , or singing in the church choir gives children the opportunity to do this . In fact , in Psalm 33 , we are instructed to play with skill as an expression of praise .
Quality musical instruction need not be a financially costly , time-consuming endeavor . Many homeschool groups now offer piano lessons for beginners and musical ensembles such as bands and choirs . If you do not have a program in your area , consider starting one or partnering with a local church to offer ministry-minded , biblically based musical instruction to children in your community .
Music has profoundly impacted my life and my relationship with Christ . It is a joy to teach music both professionally and to my children . Like most people , my parents were not musical people . They did not play instruments or have a deep knowledge of classical music . They did , however , give me access to excellent music and great books , faithfully took me to piano lessons and band practices , nurtured my love of Jesus Christ , and encouraged me to use my musical gifts to serve Him .
To God be the Glory for the good things He will do in your home through music . ■
