The new school year is now in full swing and with it comes new opportunities for children to learn to play a musical instrument or restart lessons if they previously had them. Learning to play an instrument opens so many doors to children and you are never too old to start learning. Both my older two are currently learning to play the violin at school and Luc plays with the county schools orchestra and was thrilled to be invited back for a second year yesterday.
So when the lovely people over at Dillons Toybox gave me the opportunity to give a fantastic John Crane Branching out guitar away to one of you lovely followers I jumped at the chance. This guitar is a great first acoustic guitar to get your little ones started on their musical careers. It is available in either pink, which features a flower motif or blue which features a star motif. The winner will have the chance to choose which colour they would like to recieve.
The guitar is made from durable wood and has six nylon strings that can be tuned. It measures 52cm wide x 18cm deep x 5cm high and retails at £15.95. If you would like any further information please visit here
If you don’t want to wait though Dillons ToyBox has kindly given me a discount code for 5% off purchases for my followers until the end of September 2013. Simply use the code WM03 at the checkout, perfect for starting your christmas shopping.
To be in with a chance of winning one of this Branching out guitars all you need to do is complete the rafflecopter form below.
Open to residents of the UK only and all methods of entry will be validated.
Good Luck
