Kid Guitars
Posts Tagged ‘childrens acoustic guitar’
If you ask virtually any young child what instrument that would like to learn, the answer is almost always the same: guitar. When I asked my son what musical implement he would like to take up, he was no different than the majority of his peers. While I was excited to promote his love of music, I was less than enthused 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 some acoustic guitars for children. At first he was reluctant to play a model 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 instrument and has developed into an adept young musician. For his birthday this year, I think that I’ll let him upgrade to an electric model.
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 toddler when music was being played on the house my daughter would take her hand and clap to the beat or pretend she was playing the drums with whatever object was available. She has watched both of her parents play guitar and she will start to sing and pretend to play the guitar at the same time. My wife and I have begun to look at acoustic guitars for children as we feel that 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 me, (provided they are decent and safe). She really seems to love music and I do believe that a childrens acoustic guitar will make for a wonderful birthday!
I love music and can’t imagine my life without it. It has been a part of my life since I was a toddler. I started singing in the choir at the age of five and also played drums, piano and guitar ever since I can remember. So I must say that I am thrilled that my children also seem to understand the joy that music brings. My eldest son loves the drums and we bought him a kids drumset when he was six years old and he has been banging on the drums ever since.
This past Christmas my wife and I could see that my daughter is an aspiring musician and a childrens acoustic guitar would be the perfect gift for her. We really had fun looking at all the different types of childrens acoustic guitars and we really had to narrow down our options as there are so many great guitars out there that are available for children. The icing on the cake was to see her reaction on Christmas morning. We are all so happy to see how much she really loves it and seems to possess some natural ability. I believe that music is the “spice of life” and I am glad that my family can experience this wonderful outlet!
Honoring Your Child’s Hobbies Can Have Unexpected Benefits
Well the holidays are over and the kids are back in school. They are not happy about this but know that it is a part of life. As a family we had a pretty nice Christmas and the kids for the most part seemed to really like their gifts. They like their new clothes and my son just LOVES his new MP3 player!
We were able to get our daughter a childrens acoustic guitar that she just LOVES beyond measure. My wife and I did a pretty exhaustive search for childrens acoustic guitars and finally agreed on one we felt was perfect for our daughter just in time for Christmas! We are totally amazed at how much progress she has made in a short period of time. We had purchased some books and DVD’s on learn to play guitar and she got through most of them in less than one week! My daughter is more motivated than ever to get her homework and chores completed so she can play on her guitar and I must say that that has been an unexpected benefit!
Well the Christmas rush is now over and we can begin to relax a little more. I feel that overall it was a success and my husband and I did a good job selecting gifts that our children seem to really like. Our musically gifted son had asked for an acoustic guitar this Christmas and we weren’t sure at first because he already plays the cello but we figured that if he would practice the guitar the way he practices the cello, buying a childrens acoustic guitar would be a good purchase. We really researched childrens acoustic guitars and were really pleased with what we saw!
Our son has been playing the guitar faithfully every day and has really been watching the learn to play guitar DVD’s that we bought him. Our daughter is thrilled with her new Ipod and has been pretty much dancing all over the house! Now my husband and I can relax and get ready for the new year. So now I ask, How many more days until Spring?
I love Christmas and I am especially happy that this year I think that we will have a white Christmas. I really can’t wait until Christmas morning when my eight year old son sees the kids drumset that Santa has brought him. My wife and I had a lot of fun looking at all the really cool childrens drumsets that are available today. I have to admit that I am partial to the drums as I have enjoyed playing them for most of my life.
Last year we got a childrens acoustic guitar for our daughter and it has been a match made in heaven ever since. I think our daughter will be a good influence as far as the need to practice and apply the same discipline in other areas of life, like school work. I must admit that I am a little jealous as I wish that someone would get me a new drumset for Christmas! I do however enjoy living vicariously through my children.
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!
My niece Gabby has spent many weekends with me for many years! My brother is a single parent and often works long shifts on weekends. My boyfriend Stan and I are happy to take Gabby in. She is such a “happy go lucky” and giving child and we practically consider her one of our own. Stan has played acoustic guitar in a trio with 2 of his very best friends. He plays local gigs and Gabby and I are often in the audience cheering him on! As Christmas is approaching, Stan and I are SO sure what we need to get Gabby this year, a childrens acoustic guitar!
My brother will be delighted because he is such a good father and only wants the best for his “little girl”. Stan already knows where to find good beginner childrens guitars! I would not be surprised if Gabby joins Stan and his buddies on stage! I am very sure that a kids acoustic guitar will give Gabby and our family more joy than ever imagined!
When I began playing the guitar many years ago I basically taught myself. I didn’t have a lot of money and my parents basically scrounged to find the money to get the guitar. My older cousin Gary who played bass guitar in a local band gave me lessons when he had time. Now as a parent there are so many good quality and amazingly cheap amateur guitars online that weren’t available to me when I was a kid. My daughter Sally says she wants to play the acoustic guitar. I have begun looking not only for childrens acoustic guitars but also acoustic guitar lessons.
Christmas is just around the corner and I know this will be the perfect gift for Sally. I am slightly more enthusiastic about getting a childrens acoustic guitar than my wife because I know firsthand how much joy it has brought me. Who knows maybe one day she and I will be able to perform together!
What will Santa have on his sleigh this year? If my daughter Karen has any say whatsoever there will be a childrens acoustic guitar. I am happy to try and honor this request for her but my husband and I both know that the budget is tight ever since he lost his job five months ago. He takes odd jobs here and there but we do struggle somewhat.
I have been looking online to price childrens acoustic guitars and have to say that I thought they would cost a lot more than they do. So perhaps we can afford this for Karen as well as some good learn to play guitar DVD’s. I think Karen will be delighted with what Santa will bring her down the chimney this year!
