                                                GUITAR

                                                Everyone can relate to the desire to connect with their inner guitar hero!  A guitar is like a companion.  Its quiet resonance is close to the body and it is the most logical instrument for learning a great multitude of songs.  It's easy to pick up and enjoy by yourself, so it has great appeal to adolescents.

                                                AGE TO START
                                                Good guitar instruction waits until children have good strength and can isolate their fingers well, and are able to focus on two different jobs simultaneously with their two hands.  This is typically around 9 years of age, but each child should be evaluated individually.  It is best to begin on an acoustic guitar, because it helps to develop these skills better than the electric guitar.
