Pink Acoustic Guitars
It may come as a shock to you if your soon-to-be teenaged daughter suddenly wants a pink acoustic guitar. Usually it is the boys who want a guitar and not your little darling who was dressing up as a princess not so long ago. You might think about waiting to see if your daughter’s interest fades or buy a cheaper guitar in case she becomes bored with guitar playing and quits. But before you do this, you really need to consider a few things.
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.
Girls today have to deal with so many pressures from society. There are pressures pertaining to body image, pressures from peers to become sexually active as well as, academic pressures at school. A creative outlet, such as playing guitar can be very helpful. In general, girls tend to focus their emotions inward, which can be a bad thing. Channeling their emotions would be a better way, but this needs to be encouraged, even if it is negative. Guitar playing can help with this process by getting a young girl to let out her feelings, but still have them be private.
When your daughter is alone, she can write songs about all the things that matter to her, like first (or second) love and the associated heartbreak. A girl should only have to make her guitar songs public if she wants to. You can be encouraging by asking her to play after dinner. This can show you an indication of what she may be thinking or feeling that you might not know about otherwise.
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.
Many great guitars are available that are designed to visually appeal to girls. Daisy Rock is one of the most popular companies that creates girl guitars. They are also called The Girl Guitar Company, which is exactly what they are. Their girl guitar line includes pink acoustic guitars, as well as guitars in girly-girl shapes such as hearts, stars, and butterflies.
You should take your little girl along when buying a guitar as a gift instead of surprising her. Each guitar is not quite the same and even if two pink acoustic guitars look exactly the same, they will not play the same way. If she is allowed to pick out her own guitar, she will be able to choose the one that feels and sounds the best and is closest to her heart.
