Choosing which instrument I wanted to play in 2nd grade was one of the biggest decisions I made in my adolescence. I was torn between two: My best friend had decided to join band to play the trumpet so I considered following her, but I desperately wanted to play the guitar. When I was in kindergarten, all of the kids in my class, myself included, made little rubber-band shoebox guitars during one of our "Music Days." My fascination and love of the guitar was born then.
So, after a 4-minute internal debate with my 7-year-old self, I concluded it was a no-brainer. Soon after I got my first real guitar (which I named Jack), started taking lessons and still play to this day about 16 years later. Sadly, Jack was broken a few years ago by my little cousins who were trying to serenade my uncle while I was at school. It's safe to say little tykes should begin their musical endeavors with simpler, "starter" instruments at first. In honor of "Music in Our Schools Month" (and to inspire the littlest music makers), we've created a few homemade, kid-friendly musical instruments perfect for a mini jam session so your little ones can start their bands now! Our first installment: DIY Tubular Bells
