Guitar For Kidz - The Beginner's Method: Classical Guitar Kidz Series Vol 1 (Volume 1)

From the highly successful “Guitar For Kidz” series, this is a beginner's method book for young children learning classical guitar and has been widely used in education programs for students starting instrumental lessons on guitar. It has been created in particular for those of about the 7 to 12 years age group and is intended to be used by the student through lessons with a private teacher, or through school music-programs that deliver instruction to small groups. Kids cannot teach themselves the classical guitar, so some form of professional tuition is always necessary at this age to develop good, enduring habits, and technical skills. It's clear, simple, and superbly graded approach has proven to be a most effective method, combining music reading and basic technical skills through a teacher-student duet format in much of the book. It is founded on the simplest basics of classical guitar methodology; reading and understanding rhythms, single-line melodies, then graduating onto easy two-part solo pieces using the 1st position notes over all 6 strings. It is also possible to apply the book's contents to the plectrum style of guitar playing. There is a 76 track play-along CD for students to practise with, available from www.classicalguitarhowto.com
