Description
Alfred's Teach Your Child to Play Guitar is intended for parents who wish to impart the joy of music to their children prior to commencing formal lessons with a qualified instructor. This resource is derived from Alfred's Kid's Guitar Course, an engaging approach that enables students to start playing guitar pieces immediately. Families involved in the homeschool movement will particularly benefit from this book.
The original edition's music and fundamentals are retained, and an accessible Parent Guide is provided before each student page to assist in teaching the music to the child. This guide offers recommendations for introducing the concept or page to the student, follow-up practice ideas, and tips for reviewing the page in future lessons.
Included with the book is a CD that features a recording of every piece. Engaging with the recording, whether by listening or playing along, is enjoyable and, more importantly, reinforces essential musical concepts such as rhythm, dynamics, and phrasing. With the aid of this book and CD, any parent can effectively teach their child the fundamentals of guitar.
