Our neighborhood elementary school offers band and strings classes.  Thus far, only my oldest daughter has had an opportunity to participate.  Next year, my second oldest will get a chance to learn an instrument.  We got piano lessons for them a couple of years ago.  And nearly five years ago, we purchased our first instrument, which was a guitar.  Although the first guitar was acoustic, I think it might be time to look into an electric guitar like the kay guitars.  I started searching recently, and think it would be a great idea to pick up a nice guitar and get lessons for our kids.  Although the violin and trumpet are nice, I think it is best to learn.
