How I was introduced in to music.

Two years ago my sons received a guitar as a Christmas present. It was a little/small, wooden real guitar. I remember when we saw it for the first time that my wife and I thought that we would hide it in a cupboard, and so we did it.
Past year for Last Christmas I found the guitars in the cupboard by chance, and I gave it to my sons. They wanted to play a song but owing to** they couldn't , they left/forgot about the guitar five minutes later. To encourage them to continue practicing I went on the internet and looked up for some videos on youtube to learn how to play guitar.
Since/At that moment I was enchanted by that magical instrument. The way it trembles when you touch a string, and the sound it produces marveled me. Two weeks later I had my own real spanish guitar.
Since that moment I spend every day, at least one hour practicing with my guitar, as/like a loving couple. Thanks to it I have discovered an amazing new world, as just like Cristopher Coulumbus, a world where its the inhabitants are staves, notes and silences.

Great job!

**"owing to'' literalmente ''debido a'': creo que ahi has querido decir o explicar la razon por la cual los niños no pudieron tocar la guitarra pero se te olvido terminar la oracion hehe

De todos modos seria algo asi: They wanted to play a song, but (because) they had never taken lessons so they couldnt play the guitar.

They wanted to play a song but (because) they didnt know how to play the guitar so they couldnt.

Ese ''debido a'' seria un simple ''because'' que tambiem puede ser omitido enteramente.
