He's taking guitar class.

Sebastian is.
He signed up for introduction to guitar this year, and because we can't afford to buy one, we're renting one from the school.
It's not expensive at all, just $50 for the year, but I don't have the whole amount right now, so they said I can send in whatever I do have every month or every week, whatever works best for me.
So on my next payday which is next week, I'll send in $20 of it, then pay my bills with the rest, and then on the next payday, I'll pay the other $30 off.

Because we're renting it, if it gets damaged, we are responsible for the full price which is like $300, which I definitely don't have, so to prevent it being damaged at home, he's just going to leave it at school every day.
The school said if it gets damaged on school property by another student or the janitor or whatever, then we won't have to pay for it.
So I told Sebastian to just go ahead and leave it at the school.
I do not want to be responsible for it being broken at home, or stolen from our home, or because they walk home, have some jackass kid try to beat him up and steal it or something like that.

But I do think it's cool that he's taking lessons.
He loves music, he's always been interested in the guitar, so I'm hoping he takes to it pretty easy.
Once he gets good at it, I'll have to try and buy him a used one so he can have one all the time, that is if he likes playing and is good at it.
That's another reason I'm renting.
Kids are fickle, especially him, if he hates it, then I'm not out a huge amount of money on an instrument that's just going to collect a lot of dust.

i dropped calculus my last semester of high school to take guitar.


it was the best school decision i ever made. those were the best few months.
the things we used to do in the sound booth.. ;)

Just wondering if you called any pawn shops or checked used/for sale guitars 50$ could get Sebastian close to owning his own. Then he could bring it home to practice...

We rented a sax and a trumpet for years and still do. Don't own one.
