School is winding down.  It’s getting nice outside.

You know what that means…SUMMER VACATION BABY!!! Oh yeah.

But not for grown ups.

That means the kids are home for the next 3 months.  Naturally, you’ll sign them up for summer camps, swimming lessons, swim teams, camping activities, vacations, etc.  There’s no shortage of stuff to do.   The weather is nice and it’s great to spend as much time outside as possible.

UPDATE! Why My Students Are AWESOME… (HINT: It Has To Do With Jedi’s and Narwhals)

Evidently I’m late to the whole Narwals are Jedi’s of the sea party.

That’s ok I guess.

I love my students.

Should I learn to play the acoustic guitar or electric guitar?  Which is better for a child to learn? Which is easier to learn – acoustic or electric?  Where can I buy a good child sized guitar?

We get these questions fairly frequently.  They’re good questions… with annoying answers…

Ok.  Obviously, you should choose an instrument that suits your son or daughter’s style.  For example: If your child wants to play heavy metal, a nylon stringed-classical-instrument probably isn’t the way to go… or is it?

No.  Probably not.

So – all musical tastes aside – let’s break this down…
