Studies show that children who don't learn to play a musical instrument often try to eat one. Save your offspring from an awkward doctor's visit with today's deal for music lessons at Pro Piano in the Rainbow Centre on Elm Street. Choose between two options:

• For $40, you get four half-hour in-store music lessons (an $80 value).
• For $25, you get a one-hour at-home music lesson (a $50 value).

Pro Piano is a full-service music shop offering classes and a wide selection of new and refurbished pianos, guitars, and amps. Three talented music instructors with extensive teaching and performance experience lead neophytes and old hands alike into brave new worlds of musical technique during half-hour lessons at Pro Piano's in-store teaching studio or one-hour lessons at students' homes. While Pro Piano instructors specialize in piano, guitar, and voice, under their wise tutelage students can choose to study almost any melody-maker, including obscure instruments such as the eight-stringed octopus guitar or the tuba.
