Music Go Round Aurora

Today there are hundreds of good brands manufacturing electric guitars. But few of them are at the level of those companies that have made history with their contribution to music and their ability to create some of the most revered and inspiring musical instruments in history: Fender is probably the biggest guitar brand in the world, and it stands to reason that it should be presented as the first one on this list. The Stratocaster is their most popular guitar by far – made famous primarily by Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix – but fender is also known for the success of its Telecaster, the brand’s first solid body electric guitar. Another highly regarded brand of electric guitar makers is Gibson.

While your little one might not be at the level of Mozart or Stevie Wonder at a young age, it can still be a good idea to introduce him/her to music before the age of 10.

The question is, how do you deal with the problem of kids growing up and feeling that their parents forced them to start something they’ve never felt comfortable with? According to some experts, the key is to make those first music lessons more fun and less formal. This means you don’t necessarily have to get your kids into the same pattern as a teenage beginner when trying to introduce them to the flute, the harmonica, or even the guitar or pi...
