Beginners guitar for Lily to start her music journey

Posted Jul 8, 2024
Lily has asked for a guitar and guitar lessons. Her foster mom will enroll her in lessons once she gets her guitar. Lily and her foster mom asked a friend which guitar would be best for a beginner, and they recommended the Yamaha Student Series C40II Classical Guitar.

Lily is 8 years old and lives in WI

Lily is a delightful and curious child. She was previously placed with a licensed foster home in Arizona after spending time in kinship care. During her time there, she made significant progress in expressing her emotions and learning to cope with the trauma she had experienced. Lily has now relocated to Wisconsin to live with her aunt, who plans to adopt her. She is adjusting well to her new life in Wisconsin, although she still misses her "Arizona family." At her new school, Lily is making friends and has started individual therapy to help manage her behaviors. She looks forward to her weekly phone calls with her "Arizona family," during which she shares all the exciting updates from her life. Even on her cloudy days, Lily is a ray of sunshine.

"Hi Lily. We have a friend who is a great guitarist & started at a young age, too. Now she enjoys playing in her band & it’s taken her around the world. Our friend would tell you to enjoy yourself. And, with time & practice you will get better at playing guitar. That’s what she did & she shares her love of music & guitar with her fans. Just think, that’s something you can look forward to with your lessons. You’ll be sharing your music with your foster Mom and friends. Have fun. Rock on! “V” & “T"
