Teaching a kid to play guitar presents a different challenge for any guitar teacher. Often times, a guitar teacher will have to work out some sort of a method to suits their young student. A good guitar method book specially design for kids will certainly be a great help in this situation, and one book in particular is "Alfred's Kid's Guitar Course", so let's see what this book has to offer.
The 140 pages book is intended for kids as young as five years old and has colourful pages that can certainly drew a kid's attention. After a few pages of the basics such as; "Guitar Anatomy", "Holding The Guitar" and introduction to "Basic Musical Symbols", students are presented with an "Activity" page where they'll be ask to draw musical symbols learned before as well as the fundamental of counting the "Beats". Unlike most traditional guitar method books that I use to see, the book doesn't start with "Notes Reading" lesson but instead with a "Strumming" lesson. An interesting approach by writers of the book is the introduction of three colourful characters; a dog, a cat and a friendly alligator that are always around to give tips to student on each lesson.
Reading music notation doesn't start until page 37 of the book, and by then, students had already learned four chords in the simple position and had practice strumming them in songs given. Page 37 onwards is back to traditional approach of learning to read notes on every string starting from the 1st. Activity pages continues to appears in between lessons and the colourful characters are always there to help. Students will experience combining single notes and strumming chord in page 43 and this will continue with every new notes learned.
