I didn't set out to complete this challenge  for charity, but over the course of the year I have realised how important it is for everyone, especially children, to be able to have adequate resources to play music. Without them, budding musicians may never be able to truly realise their potential, in whatever they may be interested in. I don't believe that people who grow up to be accomplished musicians are necessarily born with 'talent' but many people definitely have a passion for playing music which in the right circumstances can grow into something wonderful, but without them, simply won't sadly.

I only had a handful of guitar lessons at school, but all I needed really was a guitar which I was lucky enough to be bought for Christmas, access to the Internet to read guitar tabs, and a desire to learn, and the rest happened from there. I strongly believe others should be able to do this!
