Alfred's Teach Your Child to Play Guitar is designed for parents who
want to share the gift of music with their children before they begin
formal study with a professional teacher. It is based on Alfred's Kid's
Guitar Course, a fun method that teaches students to play pieces on the
guitar right away. Families who are part of the homeschool movement
especially will find the book useful.
Using the same music and fundamentals included in the original edition,
an easy and user-friendly Parent Guide precedes each student page to aid
with teaching the music to the child. The guide suggests steps for
introducing the concept or page to the student, follow-up practice
suggestions, and suggestions for reviewing the page in subsequent
lessons.
The enclosed CD contains a recording of every piece in the book.
Listening or playing along with the recording is fun, but more
importantly, it reinforces musical concepts such as rhythm, dynamics,
and phrasing. Using this book and CD, any parent can teach their child
guitar basics effectively.
