Kid Guitars
Archive for February 8th, 2010
Drums are the world’s oldest musical instruments. Before it was even perfected as to what material could be used to make them, different tribal groups have already used them to create sounds and rhythms in certain religious rituals. They either use them for their tribal dance or simply to deliver a message or signals. Drums are usually cylindrical in shape. They can be open on one side or both sides closed.
Nowadays, together with other instruments, drum sets are being used by drummers in a band. It is usually composed of drums, cymbals, triangles, chimes and tambourines. To use drums, you can use two sticks, your fingers or for floor drums, you can use your foot to step on the foot pedal. You can even get your kids off on the right note with a set of beginner drums.
My oldest son, now fourteen has been playing guitar now for almost six years. He had been begging us to get him an electric guitar and we finally relented and got him a childrens electric guitar. He has pretty much played it to death and now he wants a new guitar. He has shown me some pictures of some cool guitars and says that if we get him a new guitar now we will not have to get him a birthday gift when he turns fifteen in June. My husband and I do feel that it is worth the investment since he has shown such passion for the “crazy guitar” this far.
I only insist that in his quest to be a “Rock God” he complete his studies and attend college because I think life is tougher these days without a college degree. He “reluctantly” agrees to this and I think he feels that going to college is more of an opportunity to play in a really cool band and get as many gig as possible on his way up the ladder. Oh well, what is a parent to do? At least my child does have interests in life and thus far has been a pretty good student without a lot of effort.
