If only melodious mastery could burst forth the first time you picked up a musical instrument. Unfortunately, not-so-in-tune notes are the typical tunes from first-time musicians, which is why today's deal from Minnesota Music Factory strikes the perfect chord: For $30 (a $60 value), get three 30-minute music lessons from this Oakdale music school. Just pick your choice of instrument: guitar, bass, piano, vocals, drums, banjo, harmonica, or ukelele. Don't worry about having to practice endless scales, because the instructors at Minnesota Music Factory have a different approach: On your very first lesson, you'll learn to play a simplified version of your favorite song. Founder Tony Nystuen's musical techniques and theories have shown to be more fun and engaging than the average music lesson, and will catapult you directly into the world of music. Perhaps heartwarming notes may burst forth from your musical instrument on day one, and that's a reward worth crooning about.
