I want my children to be involved in the hobbies that feel like the best fit for them. I must admit however that I am very thrilled when they have chosen some type of musical pursuit. Music has been the icing on the cake for all of my life. I grew up playing classical music on the violin and sang in choir my whole life. My wife has played the harp and has performed in more types of venues that I can possibly remember. Our eldest daughter also plays classical violin and piano. My middle son has played the drums as well as the trombone. My youngest son seems to want to break tradition, (but only in regards to classical music) and play the electric guitar!
My wife doesn’t seem to know want to make of this but I think we should honor his wish. He is only seven years old but I have already begun the search for childrens electric guitars. I am also going to purchase DVD’s and books for beginner guitar lessons. I think this will be fun and since Christmas is practically next week we better get a move on. I am confident however that come Christmas morning my son will have a cool guitar to jam on!
