Reader Reviews:
simple, easy to use, ideal for children (7/12 people found this helpful)
A modern look, and a simple, easy to follow format make this tutor ideal for use with children. It might also interest adults who are learning guitar as it contains graduated pieces for practise and diversity. Don't forget that Book 2 takes you further in your quest to play more difficult tunes, some of which are by popular classical guitar composers.
A high quality technically accurate tutor (11/11 people found this helpful)
This book is a great introduction to the guitar and music reading. It covers technical issues such as the right hand position and both rest and free strokes, as well as focusing on the left hand position. There are a wealth of simple yet attractive melodies to play to practice the new techniques. Some of which are recognisable and popular, others are composed by the author herself. This book served me well when I was learning and now I use it as a teaching material primarily for children who are beginning guitar from the age of 10.
A useful teaching book for small groups. (14/14 people found this helpful)
I have used this book at my primary school guitar club and have found it very useful indeed. It is not filled with 'threatening' musical terms which means that it can be used by non-musical adults to help children practise between lessons. I would suggest that anyone considering teaching guitar to beginners should take the time to consider this book.
