That’s great Kokila. It’s very good for kids. You can make a little more research on the internet, you will be surprised to know how well it help kids. I am happy my post made you rethink on that topic. I think its high time for me too. To dust the guitar lying in the corner of my room from months and join for guitar classes.
All the Best Vidhyashree ! :)
