childrens drum lessons matthewWe have just purchased the “very coolest” childrens drum set!  Our son Matthew will be pleased beyond pleased!  I am so pleased and amazed at the good deals that are out there.  We are also so excited that we have found a good instructor who teches mostly childrens drum lessons.  Matthew has wanted to play the drums ever since I can remember.  Santa will be good to him this year!

Our younger son loves the guitar and we are going to get him guitar hero and the guitar hero songbook.  I think we may have unintentionally started out own family band.  Oh well, I can be a good sport and I can hardly wait for Christmas morning to see the excitement in their faces!

Guitars: There’s Nothing Like the Real Thing

guitar-hero-rock-bandIn recent years, music-themed videogames such as the “Guitar Hero” and “Rock Band” franchises have garnered plenty of attention from kids of all ages. The games seem to be just as popular among preteens as they are among slacker college students. Among older musicians and music shop owners, there are two schools of thought regarding these games – one positive, the other negative.

It remains to be seen whether these guitar-playing games will act as a feeder system for kids to learn the genuine instrument. Generally speaking, electric kids guitars remain the best way for children to hone their skills at an early age. Playing a videogame and playing a real electric guitar are two very different skills, and proficiency with one doesn’t necessarily translate to the other.
