Kid Guitars
Posts Tagged ‘acoustic guitar’
Fall is here and Christmas is just around the corner. It is time for my husband and I to look at our finances and think about what we can afford this year regarding Christmas gifts for our children. I can’t believe we are coming to the end of the year already! Our son has told us that he wants to learn to play acoustic guitar just like his Daddy. We are glad to hear this and hope that he will enjoy the guitar as much as his father does.
I have gladly started my search for acoustic guitars for kids and so far have been delighted in what I am seeing. There seem to be more quality kids acoustic guitars available now then when my husband was her age. My husband will be just as excited as our son on Christmas day when they can begin having “jam” sessions together, (after he has a few lessons of course!) My best wishes to everyone for a wonderful holiday season!!
The Guitar Passed Down Through The Generations!
Our family has played the acoustic guitar for several generations. My father played and performed at different venues in our area. My husband and I have played off and on throughout the years at various churches and coffee houses and now both my son is expressing an interest to play. With the holidays literally just around the corner we are seriously considering looking for some quality guitars for children!
We have some very good instructors in our family and extended family who have a lot of experience and would provide acoustic guitar lessons. We also know of some really good learn to play guitar books and DVD’s. This is all quite fun for our family and I believe our love of guitar will bring our family closer together. We look forward to Christmas!
If you ask almost any kid what instrument he or she would like to learn to play and the answer is almost always the same: the guitar. When I asked my son what musical implement he would like to learn, he was no different than the majority of his peers. While I was excited to help him pursue his interest, I was less than enthusiastic about the prospects of hearing an electric guitar amp from his room incessantly.
In order to gradually introduce him into the guitar world, I decided to look into childrens acoustic guitars. At first he wasn’t too excited to play a kids guitar that wasn’t akin to the ones that he saw his favorite bands playing. After a while, however, he learned to appreciate the nuances of the acoustic guitar and has developed into quite a musician. For his birthday this year, I just might consider allowing him to upgrade to an electric model. That’ll make his day!!
My son has a big birthday coming up, he will be thirteen. He thinks that this is a big deal as he will now be a teenager. He was born in the year 1997, the year my father passed away which my son and I feel make him special because we believe my son is a gift from my father!!. To commemorate this most special occasion, (i.e. becoming a teenager) he would like to acquire an acoustic guitar! Ok! Despite the fact that it’s been a rough year financially due to my wife being laid off, my wife and I believe that we will be able to get a beginner acoustic guitar for him! My friends have assured me that good quality cheap acoustic guitars are available! After searching the internet last night, I believe that they are in fact correct!
My son is hoping for a bigger birthday this year because he is now a teenager and only three years from being able to drive a car as he keeps reminding us!! Look out!! I do feel good that we are able to get a very quality and affordable cool guitar for our son. Yes I think we will have a very happy teenager very soon!
My husband loves country music and blue grass music just about more than anything else in life. His enthusiasm seems to have rubbed off our children, most particularly our son Ethan. My husband enjoys playing acoustic guitar and Ethan seems to relish the time he gets to spend with his father watching him play. We would love nothing more than to surprise Ethan this Christmas with his very own childrens acoustic guitar! My husband has a lot of connections and seems to have quite a lot of friends who really know guitars and know where to find quality beginner childrens guitars.
I am so excited to know that we can find a good affordable kids acoustic guitar and have it sent to us well before his birthday at the end of October! Ethan’s older brother also shares the family passion of loving to play guitar and is actually a bass guitarist in a local band. We also started him with a beginner guitar and saw amazing results! One day I know I’ll be sitting in the front row watching my husband and two sons play together!!
I said to my nine year old son “what do you want for Christmas this year?” I expected him to say something like Xbox, Webkinz, an MP3 player, but no he said he wanted a beginner acoustic guitar! I thought “ Wow! I really wasn’t expecting that!” My husband and I have always loved acoustic and classical guitar music and so I guess this isn’t a really out of the norm for us. So if our son decides to follow this interest then this could be something that the whole family can share together!
So now my husband and I are going to begin a search for acoustic guitars for kids! I think my husband and I will have fun searching for kids acoustic guitars and can’t wait for Santa to give this special gift and put a big smile on our son’s face. Finally, I think we will look at guitar cases for children so our son can feel like a real professional with his acoustic guitar!
My daughter seems to show some natural musical ability. As an infant she would tap the edge of her crib in a specific rhythm. As a small child when music was being played in our home my daughter would take her hands and clap to the beat or pretend she was playing the drums or guitar with whatever object was available. She has watched both of her parents play acoustic guitar and she will start to sing and pretend to play ‘air’ guitar at the same time. My wife and I have begun to look at kids acoustic guitars as we really believe this would be the ‘perfect’ birthday gift for her!
I love my daughter and want to teach her the importance of being the person she is truly meant to be. If guitar isn’t it then so be it. I know she will try on ‘many new hats’ in her lifetime and this is fine with us, (as long as she doesn’t get into anything illegal!). She really seems to love music and I do believe that a childrens acoustic guitar will make for a very wonderful birthday for her!!
Times have really changed! When a child plays a guitar today it no longer feels like it weighs like a hundred kilos. Guitars of the millennium are thankfully no longer just one color or one texture. Now kids learn to play not only with an acoustic guitar but with an electric guitar as well. In today’s world kids electric guitars are fun and often quite stylish! They sound very professional and kids often prefer the electrical guitar to the old-fashioned guitar style. Electric guitar lesson are so easily possible today. As a parent, you can choose from a private guitar teacher, (which is the most expensive) or you could send your child to guitar classes allowing him or her to interact with other students. Learning to play electric guitar online is also an option.
A parent may wonder what the difference is between acoustic guitars for kids and electric guitars for kids. The difference is that an electric guitar needs an amplifier but is often easier to play or use for children because the strings on an acoustic guitar can be harder to press for the beginner player. The acoustic guitar does not require an amplifier and has the choice of two types of strings (i.e. steel string or nylon string). It is so nice that the kids of today have much more to choose from!
I love it when I see any type of enthusiasm in my children. Finding a passion isn’t always easy for children so when I see that one of my children is excited about something I want to nurture it and really get involved in it as much as I can! My daughter has been expressing an interest for some time now in learning to play acoustic guitar. She is only seven years old so I immediately began researching acoustic guitars for children. I am quite pleased with the selection I have found and plan to give my daughter a really cute childrens acoustic guitar for her eight birthday in September!
Our family has fallen on some hard times recently as my wife was laid off from her job over the winter and my father passed away in May and it is important that we continue to celebrate life in any way we can! As a parent I believe it is my job to help my children to be all they can be and show them that even in the bad times there’s a silver lining in every cloud!
