Like dropping passive-aggressive hints that a roommate should do the dishes, composing a piece of music requires the strategic placement of notes. Send a powerful musical message with today's Groupon: for $99, you get four one-hour in-home music lessons from Music Lessons Will Travel (a $200 value). Tutors travel to Franklin and Brentwood for in-home lessons that take place over four consecutive weeks, on the same day each week.

The experienced instructors at Music Lessons Will Travel schlep musical prowess to students’ doorsteps to cultivate musical acumen during weekly one-hour music lessons. All of the company’s instructors possess either a college degree in music or more than a decade of experience teaching lessons, qualifying them to instruct children and adults of varying skill levels and battle the devil in guitar solo duels. Students learn to extract melodies from a choice of eight instruments, including guitar, piano, and bass. The first half of each lesson is dedicated to fundamentals practicing chords and training ears to roll over. During the latter half of lessons, kitchen stoves light their burners in demand of an encore as budding musicians learn to belt out their favorite rock, country, or jazz tunes.
