Kid Guitars
Posts Tagged ‘childrens guitar case’
I hate to be the nagging parent and harp on my kids for not taking care of their things and realizing that money doesn’t grow on trees. A prime example of this is with my daughter; we bought her a beginner childrens guitar for Christmas and I have already found it lying around the house where it could be easily bumped and ruined. She even had to replace several broken strings after her little brother tried to play the guitar. My husband and I put a lot of effort and time into this purchase and looked at a lot of beginner childrens guitars so we expect this instrument to be treated with the upmost respect.
Since her grandparents gave her money for Christmas, my husband and I decided to mandate that the money be spent on a childrens guitar case. While she obviously was opposed to the idea,(as she feels that it is HER money) we know that she will be thankful when the case inevitably prolongs the life of this precious instrument
I said to my nine year old daughter Rebecca “what do you want from Santa Claus this year?” I expected her to say Barbie dolls, Webkinz, an MP3 player, but no she said that she wanted a guitar. I thought “ Wow! I wasn’t expecting that!” My husband and I have always loved acoustic and classical guitar music and so I guess this isn’t a “total” stretch for us. So if Rebecca decides to follow this interest further then this might be something that the whole family can share.
So now my husband and I are going to begin to search for beginner acoustic guitars. I think that this will be a fun venture for us and I really can’t wait for Santa to give this special gift and put a smile on Rebecca’s face. I think we will also look for a childrens guitar case so Rebecca can feel like a real professional with her acoustic guitar!
To say that I come from a musical family would be a gross understatement. Although there are no truly professional musicians in our ancestry – at least not to my knowledge –practically every aunt, uncle and cousin has some sort of pet instrument that emerges during reunions and gatherings. I’m a huge proponent of the electric ax, so it’s probably no wonder that I’ve been teaching my 9-year-old the ropes.
We’ve already made plans for Thanksgiving, and it looks like the whole family will be down in Florida. Since we’ll be taking our musical show on the road, I thought it only appropriate that my son should get a kid guitar case. He’s so concerned about his guitar warping or getting wet outside in the rain that he practically insisted on getting a case. We’ve got a lot of practicing to do before my son shows off his talents for his proud family to see.
