This review is from: Alfred’s Kid’s Guitar Course Notespeller 1 & 2: Music Reading Activities That Make Learning Even Easier! (Paperback)
I have been teaching classroom music for over 30 years. I also teach guitar. I was always afraid to begin young children on guitar, because the coordination was too difficult for them. I discovered this book a few years ago. It is kid friendly. It has only a little music on each page, has fun pictures and clear explanations. A few years ago, I had several parents approach me to teach a guitar class to second graders. I have been using this book with the matching course book for about 5 years. The children love the book and are very excited as they advance through the pages. I see the advantage of 3 string chords, as well. The children learn to keep strumming as they change chords, rather than stopping to figure out how to make the chord. They also learn how to play simple melodies on the first three strings. The note speller is a great reinforcement of what they are learning in the course book. I highly recommend this guitar course to use for any beginning guitarist up through 10 years old.
