Ruby was fortunate to participate in a special program last year during school, it allowed her to take lessons from another student and study guitar. She really enjoyed it and her teacher, Ethan was awesome, he and Ruby became the best of buds. Prior to that Ruby had wanted a guitar for a long time and we weren't really certain that she would want to continue her interest in it, fortunately we didn't need to invest in purchasing a guitar because Santa brought her one. She continued to play her guitar and was very excited when our container of household goods arrived in Germany and she could have her guitar to play again.
Two weeks ago Ruby was able to pick up again with her lessons, she has a 45 minute lesson once a week after school, her teacher, Mrs. Schneidewind is teaching Ruby all about classical guitar.
This past Saturday it was time to go find Ruby a new guitar, she had outgrown her beginner guitar. We visited a local shop in the Neustadt and tested out some guitars, she selected this pretty three quarter sized guitar by Manuel Romero. Because all great musians name their guitars Ruby needed a name and she came up with it immediately. Here is how...
Last summer we were fortunate to meet the incredible Henry family that had been traveling across country, they were staying at the Marriott hotel that Jackie was working at. Their amazing young daughter, Kelsey, played guitar and wrote her own music. She really inspired Ruby to continue learning guitar and a couple of times they played guitar together, it was so sweet. Kelsey has her first official CD out and Ruby loves it! So, naturally Ruby HAD to name her guitar, Kelsey!
