Kid Guitars
Archive for October, 2010
Halloween Is today and my kid wants to be none other than a ‘rocker’ for trick or treat tonight. This is really not a surprise since being a ‘Rock God’ has been on his radar for some time now. Last spring we began talking about guitars for children knowing that our son would just ‘keel over and die’ if he got a childrens electric guitar for his birthday. Not surprisingly, I don’t think he has ever been happier about any other gift he’s ever received from us!! We are able to use his guitar playing as leverage to get him to complete other chores such as completing homework assignments and keeping his room clean.
We will allow him to dress as a ‘rocker’ tonight provided that he bring the guitar only to one or two homes, (people that are dear friends of ours). This will be exciting for him as he will give both my husband and I and his grandparents a little concert in his full garb after he is done trick or treating! Happy Halloween everyone!
My daughter has been a musical enthusiast before she could talk. She would bang on the side of her crib in a very succinct rhythm as a toddler and then as she got older would tap the table and make an attempt to strum a book or a magazine or even a tennis racquet! When she turned seven I knew what we had to get her for his birthday, a kids electric guitar! My husband, (having witnessed her musical ability since birth), was in immediate agreement! We had fun looking at all the guitars for children available online!
My daughter’s birthday was quite a success. She is in heaven andLOVES this particular kids guitar and would play morning, noon and night if we let her! We want to support her interests and I don’t know if being a musician is her future per se but I am glad that she is enjoying it so much right now!
I like to think that I am a good father and would do just about anything for my kids. I guess you could say that as far as my kids go, I’m in it for the long haul. I have been my kid’s greatest supporter and even their greatest fan! My oldest daughter loves horses and wants to spend most of her time horseback riding and while my wife and I are sometimes worried that she will get hurt, we are so delighted by the fact that she has something that she is so passionate about! Now my middle son says that he wants to be a rocker and believes that he has what it takes to make it in the ‘big time”. I hope so but as a parent you want to encourage your kids while also giving them a dose of reality, not always such an easy task.
My wife and I have decided however that we are going to support our son and are now doing a search for electric guitars for kids. His birthday is on November 15th so I think we will have enough time to find a kids electric guitar perfectly suited for him. We will insist that on the way to this ‘Rock God’ status that he intends to obtain, he must do his homework and not drop out of school. We also want him to continue playing sports and live a well balanced life. But hey he’s just a kid, let him have fun and enjoy life before he has to grow up and face all the responsibilties of life!!
My son’s birthday was last month and oh what a fun time it was for him. Usually birthdays come and go and the excitement of gifts received starts to wane over time. Before you know it the novelty of new gifts wears off and the child is on to something else. This is not the case with our young son! We bought him a childrens drum set and if we let him, he would ‘bang on the drums’ all day long!! It was one of the best investments we ever made!! There are so many totally cool drums for children available for today. Despite the obvious noise, he seems to be developing some rhythm. We are actually setting him up with some drum lessons next week. He is quite happy about this.
Right now he is enjoying his beginner drums and we may get him a full drum set if he continues to enjoy the drums and show some real promise. His joy is our joy!! I guess as a parent I am so glad to see him have some passion and want to work on something which makes me want to go the extra mile for him!! Only time will tell.
Everything is so expensive these days! Just to make ends meet is hard enough let alone having some money left over to have some fun. My youngest son wants an electric guitar in the worst way! I would love nothing more than to be able to give him this special gift for Christmas but I am not really sure that it is in my budget either. I have checked in several music stores but nothing looks affordable at the moment.
I just spoke with a friend who told me that electric guitars for children are not as costly as I might think and that to look online might be my best bet. This is good news because while I will find something to get my son for Christmas that he will like, a really cool beginner kids guitar will make him so happy! I am now hopeful that my son will be able ‘to rock out’ like he’s always wanted to!
As a mom I can honestly say that I am very content. Now that our daughter’s tenth birthday celebration is over we can relax a bit until the holidays begin. Overall we had a really nice Christmas and a peaceful new year! It is always great to get friends and family together. Both my parents and my husband’s parents go crazy over their grandkids and our kids always can’t wait to see them!! In particular, we all really liked watching my daughter go “crazy” over the beginner childrens guitar we gave her for her birthday. To say she loves this gift would be an understatement!
My husband and I really enjoyed looking at various beginner childrens guitars and now know that our research has really paid off. Because our daughter’s birthday is so close to Christmas we needed to shop within our means. After searching for discount kids guitars we were quite impressed with what we saw. She seems to already have learned some chords from her learn to play guitar DVD. She loved all of her other gifts but hands down, the guitar was her very favorate!
With a large family birthdays come up sooner than you think. We just celebrated our daughter’s 18th birthday. We had a lot of fun and we got her a new laptop for college as she is a freshman this year. It has been as adjustment to have her away at college, (not to mention tight on the purse strings). Our younger daughter will turn seven next month and says that more than anything in this whole wide world, she simply MUST have a kids electric guitar!! My very frugal husband said “no way” a guitar is simply out of the question. I however feel that I can refute some of his complaints, (i.e. cost). After looking online yesterday I found some discount childrens guitars that I think our aspiring young rocker may love!
My husband is still not totally onboard but I think he will come around. If a kids guitar will make her happy than I think we should support her and I know in the long run my husband will agree. Where there’s a will there’s a way!!
My daughter and I have always been close. Even though she is only seven years old, I think she is rather intuitive for her age. She has grown up listening to me play guitar and it has always been a special bonding time for us, she loves to see me play. I have actually watched her pick up a tennis racquet and pretend to pluck and strum the strings only to stub her thumb (which resulted in some tears and some cries of “awwww!” but the incident still didn’t deter her). So I said to my wife that we needed to honor her passion and get her a beginner acoustic guitar for her eighth birthday.
I am having a lot of fun looking and searching for childrens guitars. My wife has been looking as well and we will soon compare notes and come up with a childrens guitar that is of good quality, affordable and irresistible to our young budding musician! I might even be more excited as my daughter!
My son will be seven in just two weeks. This is very exciting to everyone in the family, myself included but is the most exciting to our little boy!! He is precocious as well as ambitious and some say he has as a future doctor, lawyer, or maybe even an Indian Chief!! Right now, I vote for a musician!! Our son like many kids his age wants to bang the drums. He thinks that this is very cool and so do I. I propose to my somewhat less enthusiastic wife that we start looking at childrens drumsets. I know that there are some very affordable and fun kids drumsets.
We however need to get a move on as his birthday will be here before we know it!! I have already bookmarked some good websites. A buddy of mine bought his son some kids drums and says that for the most part it has been a lot of fun for the whole family, wife included. I very much want our son to succeed in life but along the way I want him to also have boatloads of fun. A kids drumset is a great start!
A Kids Electric Guitar, What A Great Gift!!
I have seen few kids as happy as my son to receive a guitar for his fifth birthday!! We got him a kids electric guitar for his birthday last month after months of him telling us over and over that he had to have one for his birthday. We had given him the good news last month that we would get him a kids electric guitar for his birthday and told him that he could even help us pick it out. I must admit that it was fun looking at all the different kinds of childrens electric guitars. Low and behold we found one that we all agreed on boy is it cute!
So now he plays and plays and plays and then plays some more!! For the most part I am glad to see him play except for the noise which can be a bit much at times. We just recently got a ¾ kids guitar case so we can protect this precious little guitar. We are glad to see our son so happy and know that he will feel even more a part of the family as his brother has played the drums in his high school band and now wants to start his own band with a couple of friends, and his sister plays the piano and the flute. Who knows, maybe one day they will all perform together!
