Our kids wanted to travel, so my husband and I encouraged them to earn money to fund trips. We told them we would pay for music lessons, then they could use their skills earn money busking. Our kids loved music long before we ever came up with, what we refer to as, the 'travel project.' Over the same period, we spent approximately $4,800 on music lessons. When you consider the travel, the experience, and the sense of achieving a big project goal, the music lessons have been the best investment we made for our kids.
