Kid Guitars
Posts Tagged ‘acoustic guitar lessons’
When my son first asked my wife and me to buy him a new guitar, I was a little hesitant. He already makes a good deal of noise around the house, and it seemed like a musical instrument would only proliferate this. After some discussion, my wife and I decided to compromise with him and purchased a kids acoustic guitar.
Not only did the acoustic guitar create minimal noise around the house, but it has also helped to mellow out our son. Instead of the hard rock that used to blare from his bedroom, he has started listening to more soothing acoustic artists. Although he has only been playing for a few months, he already has become proficient at many classic songs and will be performing in his school talent show next month.
I have been a supportive parent and have watched my older son learn to play the drums in high school band and now as part of a band with three of his friends. He is starting a career in the banking business but drums will always be his first love. Now my very youngest daughter seems to also want to pursue music as a hobby and maybe one day a career. She wants to play guitar so my wife and I have begun looking at childrens acoustic guitars.
We want to get her some acoustic guitar lessons taught by a professional. We hope that learning to play the beginner acoustic guitar will offer her not only a wonderful hobby but also teach her discipline, patience and self respect. She has a birthday and January and I think she will be very happy for the gift of music with a childrens acoustic guitar!
The acoustic guitar is a popular instrument in our family. Both of my parents played and performed in our area. I have played off and on throughout the years and now both my son and daughter are expressing an interest to play. We are very delighted but also hope that they don’t have to play. With the holidays literally just around the corner we are really giving serious consideration to purchasing some quality childrens acoustic guitars!
We have some very good instructors in our family who have a lot of experience and will provide acoustic guitar lessons. We also know of some really good learn to play guitar books and DVD’s. It is all very exciting and I believe the love of guitar has actually brought our family closer together. I think it will be a fine Christmas!
As the saying goes, someone’s trash is another one’s treasure. Nothing could hold more truth than this statement about our family. My son Jacob seems to most to be the perfect child. He gets good grades, is popular in school and is a star athlete. He has never had a strong interest in the arts. Genevieve is somewhat shy and awkward around others. She struggles to be a good student and is a HUGE fan of the arts and you will probably never find Genevieve on a sports team. Jacob and Genevieve are SO different that it is very difficult for them to find common ground. As a parent it hasn’t always been easy to convince either one that their sibling does have legitimate hobbies and interests.
As we get closer to Christmas, I again will be shopping for very different Christmas gifts for my family. Jacob will want more games for his Xbox and Gen will want things that will help her “budding” music career. She loves country music and has let me know that she would like acoustic guitar lessons and wants me to buy her a kids acoustic guitar. So I will begin pricing some quality kids guitars! I guess as a parent having well adjusted, happy kids is the best you can hope for!
