Guitar for Kidz, Vol 1

 

 


 


Guitar for Kidz,
by Peter Altmeier-Mort
Classical or Plectrum, Vol 1
A Classroom Method

Now widely used in education programs for young people starting on guitar, this highly regarded book and play-along CD is where any child should start!

Created especially for young children beginning the guitar (approx. 7 to 12 years), it is intended to be used by the student through lessons with a private teacher or a school music program. Kids cannot teach themselves, so some form of good tuition is always necessary at this age to form enduring habits and technical skills – then the sky is their limit!

This book is founded on the simplest basics of classical guitar methodology; reading and understanding rhythms, single-line melodies, then graduating onto easy 2 part solo pieces using notes over all the 6 strings (standard music notation throughout). It is also possible to apply the book’s contents to the PLECTRUM method of guitar playing, and the 76 track play-along CD with accompaniment backing for every song makes practice totally enjoyable!
