Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Now that we are all finding ourselves with more time to spend at home, it can be tough to pass the time. Social distancing has caused many of us to become very bored with our new daily routine. It can be hard to find things to do when everything is closed and many of us do not know when we are going back to work. At a certain point, there is only so much Netflix that a person can watch.

If you are anything like us, you have thought about using the downtime to acquire new skills. Musical instruments can be tough to learn under normal circumstances. However, we all have a sizable amount of time on our hands now. There is no excuse not to pick up an instrument and learn how to play it. Fender knows your pain and they have got you covered in the meantime.

The code expires once the first 100,000 people have claimed their lessons or by April 20, whichever comes first. These lessons are typically available for $89.99 annually, so this is one heck of a deal. Video lessons are offered that give students the chance to learn through the usage of popular songs. You can choose from tunes by Shawn Mendes, Sia, Ed Sheeran, Green Day, or Led Zeppelin.

Would you like to see these lessons in action? Head to the Fender Instagram page to find out more. According to the company’s statement, “We’re all going to be spending more time inside so we might as well make some noise.” This is one of the best ways to manage the stress that we are all feeling. At times like this, it is very important that we find an outlet. Share away and rock on!
