Playing music together as a family sounds quite lovely, but what if you don't even play an instrument? Not a problem with this simple guitar book! This book is formatted with a child's lesson on the right hand page and a parent's guide on the left hand page. Think of it as a teacher's manual and student book all in one. The best part? This book assumes that you, the parent, have no prior musical knowledge only the ability to read and relay information. It also comes with handy teaching tips and practice suggestions so you can help your child develop good playing habits without even knowing them yourself. While you're at it, you might as well learn alongside your child!
In terms of structure, this series takes a slightly different approach than other Alfred books, starting with chords and moving into notes on the strings rather than the opposite. All in all, the amount of information learned appears to be the same at each book level. Included is a CD to play along with for extra practice. 80-90 softcover pages. Laura
