You might be surprised when your pre-teen girl begs for a pink acoustic guitar. Usually, guitars are asked by brooding teenage boys and not by little girls dressed up as princesses five years ago. There might be a temptation for you to initially observe if your daughter loses interest, or purchase an inexpensive guitar instead. Before you go ahead, there are pointers for you to seriously consider first.
It is a popular idea nowadays for a girl to want to play music and you should encourage this. This can be because of TV shows like Hannah Montana, who is a young girl pop star. There are good things and bad things about a girl wanting to be a star. As parents, you can use the desire your girl has for a pink acoustic guitar and turn it into a viable interest.
Playing guitar can be very beneficial for young women to have a creative outlet that can process their feelings. Unlike years before, the pressures and expectations nowadays on young people, especially young girls are greater. This may be social pressures, body image pressures, likewise early sexual and academic pressures too. The trend with girls, quite often with scary results, is to internalize pain or stress. With their privacy in mind, you can guide them into enjoying creative outlets such as playing a guitar and encouraging them into these types of releasing all forms of their emotions – whether they be bad, good or somewhere in between.
Even in the solitude of her own space your daughter can release her emotions in a creative way and express herself. And this can be a very good thing, as we all know as parents, the teenage years can be a bit hectic. Her guitar songs are hers alone, and she does not have to share them with anyone. Parents can gain insight into what their daughter is going through that she may not normally mention by encouraging her to perform, even if it is just for the family after dinner.
Before you buy a guitar for your child there are a few things you should think about. First, don’t just buy the cheapest guitar you can find. Her first guitar, even if it is a pink acoustic guitar, should not be bought in the toy section of your local discount store. Even an experienced guitarist would have a problem playing a cheap instrument. So find a music store in your area. Make her first guitar a good experience.
There are many quality guitars commercially available specifically for girls that are designed to have their tastes in mind. One of the most popular companies that creates guitars specifically for girls is called Daisy Rock. Affectionately known as “The Girl Guitar Company” their line of products includes guitar’s with different shapes and designs like butterflies, hearts and stars. This line also has the popular pink acoustic guitar.
Don’t try surprising your daughter with a gift, it is best that you take her to shop for her first guitar. No two guitars are said to be the same. Even pink acoustic guitars have their variations too. By giving her the chance to choose her own, she will find the best one that feels right in her hands and the one that sounds right to her ears and her inner heart.
