If you’re searching for music lessons in Franklin, TN at home, you’re not alone. More and more families across Franklin—from Westhaven to Fieldstone Farms—are choosing in-home music lessons for the comfort, convenience, and personalized instruction they provide.

But how do you get your home ready for success?

Here’s a quick guide to help you prepare your space so your child can focus, thrive, and enjoy their musical journey from the very first lesson.

1. Choose the Right Room

The ideal space is:

• Quiet – away from busy kitchens or high-traffic areas

• Well-lit – natural light is great, but lamps work too

• Comfortable – enough room for your child, the instrument, and the teacher

Franklin parents: Great options often include bonus rooms in homes in McKay’s Mill, music nooks in Westhaven, or front rooms in Founders Pointe. Wherever you choose, make sure it’s a space your child feels relaxed in.

2. Set Up the Instrument for Success

• Piano or Keyboard: Ensure it’s on a level surface with a proper bench. Weighted keys are best for beginners.

• Guitar: Have a chair with no armrests and a guitar stand nearby for easy access.

• Voice: A standing mirror can help with posture. Provide a bottle of water and a quiet space.

• Violin or Strings: Have a clean flat surface nearby for rosin, tuner, and accessories.

Keep accessories like books, tuners, and pencils organized in a nearby basket or drawer for quick access.

3. Minimize Distractions

• Turn off TVs and loud devices in adjacent rooms

• Avoid scheduling lessons during meal prep or sibling playtime

• Place pets in another area during the session

• Silence phones and doorbells if possible

You want to create an environment where your child can focus—and the instructor can teach without interruption.

4. Give Them Room to Grow

A designated music space—whether a spare room in Cool Springs or a cozy corner in Ladd Park—can become a creative haven for your child. When possible, let that space stay consistent from week to week so your student feels grounded in their practice environment.

Final Tip: Be Present, But Not Distracting

One perk of at-home music lessons is the chance to observe your child’s growth. Feel free to listen in nearby—but avoid sitting too close or giving feedback during the lesson. Let the teacher lead, and celebrate progress afterward.
