Alfred's Teach Your Child to Play Ukulele, Book 1 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 Ukulele Course, a fun method that teaches students to
play pieces on the ukulele 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 audio recording contains a demonstration 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 audio recording, any parent can easily
teach their child ukulele basics.
