Music Lessons Are Still ImportantDuring COVID-19, the world may have turned a little upside down, but childhood is not cancelled! and we are all looking for ways to have things stay as "normal" as possible. Virtual music lessons is definitely one of those ways to keep things moving for students. Let's not just survive 2020 - let's help our children THRIVE!
Below are a few benefits when it comes to taking Virtual Music Lessons!
Music lessons are always important to a child's development, but perhaps even more during these uncertain and ever-changing times. We have amazing technology at our fingertips that will help our children continue to grow - no matter the circumstances. Let's use it and make some music together! You could be a current music student looking to keep your skills sharp or a new music student who is ready to explore an instrument. Either way, summer is a great time to make things happen! Here are some fantastic reasons why:1. You're free from distractions and without pressure to do homework, make deadlines or get to extracurricular activities after school. 2. There are longer days in the summer which means there's more time to fit in all the summer fun and practice your instrument! 3. Give your child a sense of accomplishment and boost their confidence with short term goals and new skills they can be proud of. 4. Keep your kids entertained with an activity that boosts brainpower and works their creativity!

Let's talk about PLAY!
There's no doubt that parents have been trying to figure out ways to keep their children busy over the last couple of months during the COVID-19 quarantine. In the midst of tackling "school at home", make sure to add just as much playtime (if not more) into your day! Check out this article from the Official Journal of American Academy of Pediatrics about why playtime is so important to the well-being of our kids and youth. Of course, make sure to practice your instrument and acting skills each day, but if you need some creative inspiration, our friends over at No Time for Flashcards have you covered! They came up with an awesome list of ideas for outdoor play. Here's our Top 5 Favorite Picks: 1. Melt Crayons in the Sun 2. Paint like Jackson Pollock 3. Flower Painting 4. Go on a sound safari 5. Play Angry Birds with Water Balloons There you have it - fun for hours! Make sure to send tag us @lantiperformingarts if you try one (or all) of these outdoor play ideas! Want more ideas?

Hey mamas...can we take a minute and pause from the school work, cooking 5 million meals a week, and the zoom meetings? I know you're juggling a lot right now and with the upcoming Mother's Day weekend - this year tops the charts of "We Are Earning the Mom Title"! Am I right?! If you're anything like me, you've had a roller coaster of days while in quarantine... Great days, Lazy days, Play outside days, Movie days, Missing friends & family days Dance party days, Too much technology days, Melt-down days, Smell the flower days, Messy days, Messy days, Messy days (felt I needed to add that 3 times!), Winning school days, Close all the books and cry days. Friend - you are not alone! These days are totally normal day right now and we're ALL having them! I love the fourth agreement, from Don Miguel Ruiz's book, The Four Agreements. (If you haven't read it - grab it on Amazon - it's so insightful!) His message is simple. Always do your best. Ruiz explains, "Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret." How freeing is this!? Maybe on Monday you were a total Pinterest/Marie Kondo/Super-Mom but today you're just struggling to put on pants and make sure you don't eat the whole bag of Oreos. No matter what kind of day it is today - give yourself grace, give others grace, and just keep doing your best! Take a breath. Each moment is a new moment. And who knows - tomorrow night you might even cook a 7-course meal in your little black dress (HA! Who am I kidding!? I don't even know what day it is - we'll be rocking some PB&J again!) Keep earning your title because you are one incredible quarantine-surviving mama! P.S. Feel free to save the pic below as your phone screensaver - we can all use the daily reminder! It's that time! Thanksgiving is just one week away and our local towns and cities are starting look a lot like Christmas. They're starting to sound like it too! If you're looking for a great way to get into the Christmas spirit in the next month, check out this awesome list of 12 music and theatre centric events happening in Union County and the surrounding cities!

Earlier this month our Bucket Drum students performed out in the community at a fall festival. It was not only a fantastic time, it was also a great learning opportunity! Check out their video here and then read some of the benefits of the performing arts below!
So whether you are in piano lessons, drum lessons, theatre or acting classes, group music, or any other kind of music or performing arts class, you can get these amazing benefits that are so vital to childhood development. Our students love to experience music and theatre and we love to watch them grow from it!
