Description:

Mel Bay has created a popular and creative method for teaching guitar to young children. The Children's Guitar Method approach to learning integrates, from the very beginning, chord playing with note reading. The students start with easy one finger chord forms and strum accompaniments to numerous songs. Note reading is then methodically and carefully introduced. Two subsequent volumes complete this course. The method features Ron Wheeler's colorful cartoon artwork. Written in standard notation.
