To Each His Own!

My son will turn seven next week and he really wants an electric guitar for his birthday.  Our older son had played guitar when he was his brother’s age but eventually lost interest.  It is too bad that we gave this guitar to a friend who has a young son.  Now our younger son wants an electric guitar.  I guess we will have to look for some discount childrens guitars online.  I’m pretty sure we can find some quality and childrens electric guitars online that are also affordable.

Our young son seems to have a good sense of rhythm and I believe has more of a musical sense then his older brother.  So I do believe that a kids electric guitar is a good gift for him.   It’s always so interesting as a parent to see what makes your kid tick and how it often is different for each kid.

Honoring My Little Girl’s Dream!

My daughter has been saying for several years now that she wants to grow up and play guitar like her uncle Joe, (my brother in law).  After several years my husband and I realize that it might be a good idea to make an investment in a childrens electric guitar.  Fortunately for our daughter she has a birthday coming up this summer and so we will begin now searching for childrens electric guitars online and in some music stores locally.  I just know that come July 16th we will have one happy little girl on our hands!

My husband has said that there are some really cute kids electric guitars that are good quality instruments that are affordable and have good durability.  This is good to know because being the frugal one of the family I want to know that our money is well spent.  For her to get the chance to play with Uncle Joe one day would be a dream come true.  As far as her playing in a band, I may need more time to wrap my mind around that idea.  I guess time will tell!

A Special 4th Of July!

Summer will be here before you know it and before we can even turn around and it will be the 4th of July.  In our family we celebrate our nation’s birthday at the same time we celebrate the birthday of our youngest son.  These two very special occasions always run together in our family.  Our son is still at the age where birthdays are talked about months before they happen and are talked about with excitement and anxious anticipation.  Our son has already begun dropping “hints” regarding what he would like to receive for his birthday.  At the top of his list, a kids electric guitar!

Ok, I must admit I wasn’t expecting this.  My husband however is into the idea and has already begun his search for childrens electric guitars.  He thinks he has already found the perfect childrens electric guitar for our son!   I think we will be well prepared for the 4th of July as it should be an extra special celebration this year!

What Will It Be This Year?

As you are probably well aware Mother’s Day is this Sunday.  I look forward to that day not because I expect to be waited on hand and foot, (although that would be nice!)  but because I can’t wait to see what my kids have planned for me.  Every year it’s something different.   Last year they gave me an actual “ticket” to a day filled with whatever I wanted which included tea served in the backyard, a lovely pedicure and manicure given to me by my eleven year old daughter and dinner served with one of my dishes, lasagna!

Recently our home has been filled with the sound of music!  Last month our precocious youngest son turned eight and we bought him a childrens electric guitar.  I have never seen a happier kid in my life!  My son has been hinting that I will be serenaded by his ambitious guitar playing!  I will act surprised and will be delighted to hear what he has selected for me!  I don’t think my husband and I thought we would get this much enthusiasm when we first began to look at childrens electric guitars!  We are not complaining mind you.  The innocence of childhood only lasts so long, so you might as well enjoy it for as long as you possibly can!

Two Approaches To Parenting

Our son will be turning eight in two weeks.  With all the craziness in our lives right now we haven’t even begun to prepare for his birthday.  I always take the practical approach when it comes to gift buying.  I tend to think of what he “needs” more than what he “wants’.  I want to buy him clothes because he grows out of them quicker than you can blink an eye or get him something he needs for school.  My husband tends to be more of the “fun” Dad the “Disneyland Dad” if you will.  He is not the planner that I am and will come up with ideas at the last minute. 

Yesterday he told me that he could totally see our son as a “little rocker”and thinks that we should get him a childrens electric guitar!  I’m not totally sold on this idea but my husband is convinced!  He has looked online and believes that we can find plenty of suitable childrens electric guitars on time.  My husband says that we are a good match because we balance each other out meeting the needs of our kids from different angles.  I have to admit that he does have a point.  I guess I’m game.

Learning Guitar, Tips For Parents

A question parents often have when deciding whether to have their child begin playing an instrument is: when is the right time? The answer can vary based on the instrument and this article will focus on learning to play guitar. First you will need to decide which type of guitar you want to purchase.  There are many different types of childrens acoustic guitars and childrens electric guitars to choose from. One thing to consider when deciding if your child is old enough to play guitar is whether their wrists and fingers are strong enough in order to successfully play chords on the guitar. For this reason, experts recommend waiting until a child is at least seven years old to start this instrument. Children who want to start playing before the age of seven can start on the piano. They will learn basic chords, notes, and rhythms while their bodies grow strong enough to play the guitar.

Beginning guitarists often learn in a group setting. There are benefits and downsides to group lessons. Most parents choose this option because it is the most affordable.  On the other hand, students do not get to benefit from this one on one attention in a group setting. In an individual lesson, the teacher is able to pinpoint areas that the child needs to work on much more easily. Once you have started lessons, you must work hard to encourage your child to practice. Keep the guitar in a visible location, and allow your child to practice whenever she wishes. However, insist on scheduled practice times as well.  Learning to play guitar can have many benefits for your child and you will be glad you invested your money and time in such a worthwhile pursuit!

It Runs In The Family!

My son wants another guitar.  We bought him a toy guitar for his birthday when he was three years old and he has long since outgrown it.  Now he says he wants a “real” guitar!  He wants to take lessons and play in a band one day just like his older brother.  So my frugal wife who is never one to mince words says, “I am not buying one more crazy guitar!”  I think I can work on her.   She’ll come around. I know that there are a lot of very affordable and fun childrens electric guitars that our son could start taking lessons with.

Our kids have grown up with music so it’s no surprise that they’ve all shown interest in it.  I am not going to stand in their way and will support them in any way I can.  After all I too played acoustic and electric guitar as a youngster.  My wife just told me that she bookmarked a website for me to see that has discount kids guitars!  Here we go!

The Privilege Of Being A Grandfather!

My son has been the center of my life for pretty much all of his life.  Now that he is a father, I am delighting even more as a grandfather who has the sheer joy and privilege of spoiling his grandchildren.   Birthdays provide the perfect reason or “excuse” to “pull out all of the stops”.  My super ambitious, fun loving and very capable grandson will be all grown up at the ripe old age of eight!  My grandson really wants a childrens electric guitar but my son doesn’t think we need to spend that much money for his birthday.  I have told my son that I absolutely want to get my grandson a kids electric guitar.

I have begun looking in music and toy stores for childrens electric guitars.  I have now finally convinced my son to also look online, (since the computer is still not really my thing). I think my sometimes “know it all son” has discovered that kids guitars are not as expensive as he thought.  One day my son will understand the joy of being a grandparent.  I mean you’re only eight once!

A Chip Off The Old Block!

Easter has just come and gone and now my son is having a big birthday.  He is feeling quite spry at the ripe old age of nine.   We will get him some iTunes and some other things like clothes that he needs for school and  the upcoming summer.  However what he most wants this year is a kids electric guitar.  He knows that I have played acoustic and electric guitar and says that he wants to follow in my footsteps!  I am for this but my wife is a bit skeptical.  However, I think she will be more agreeable when she sees how affordable childrens electric guitars really are.

Recently my wife’s hours at her job have been cut back to part time and so she is very concerned about money.  Someone needs to be frugal but I also think that we can still get our children gifts and live within our means.  There are many types of electric guitars for children today that are fun and not too costly!  I am looking forward to my son’s birthday especially since he kind of sees himself as a “chip off the old block!”  Ah, the joys of parenthood!

The Many Advantages Of Learning To Play Guitar

Evidence has shown time and time again that extra-curricular activity is important for a child’s overall well being. Music is not only therapeutic for adults, but is also beneficial for children. Learning to play guitar can be a wonderful hobby for children.  Children who learn to play the guitar learn skills of coordination as well as the art of playing a musical instrument. There are many childrens acoustic guitars available today that are perfect for your child during the learning phase.   Parents can also choose childrens electric guitars. The impact of guitar on children is huge.  Guitar is one of the most widely played instruments and this makes it easy to locate classes for guitar. . Keeping this in mind, there is a vast pool of options to choose from to educate your child in the field of music and specifically in the case of children’s guitar lessons.

Notice any child playing a musical instrument, and you will often see a spark that comes up every time they accomplish something new. This is an obvious advantage considering that children get dull with no extracurricular activity. Therefore, it is a pretty safe assumption that most children, if exposed to music in any form, will learn to love it and enjoy it to the best of their ability.  What could be wrong with that?
