Product Description


Alfred's Kid's Guitar Course is a fun method that teaches kids to play songs on the guitar right away. Each lesson is explained in plain language that's easy to understand, with three irresistable guitar experts leading the way: a clever classical dog, one cool jazz cat, and a friendly alligator who loves the blues. They keep attention focused by pointing out what's important on each page and help students learn by making music fun! Students hear how the music should sound by listening to the included CD, which contains additional tools when played on a computer such as a chord dictionary and guitar tuner. Book 1 teaches basic music symbols, how to read chord frames and strum three-string chords, and reading the notes in 1st position on the first three strings to play simple single-note melodies. Book 2 covers four-string chords, the notes in first position on the 3rd, 4th and 5th strings, tempo markings, dynamic signs, and more!

Product Review Summary: Helpful Guitar Flash Cards

This comes with 61 flash cards that cover all the musical terms, chords and notes taught in the Alfred's Kid's Guitar Courses. These are page-coordinated for Books 1 & 2. Note that these two books are now combined into the newer Alfred's Kid's Guitar Course Complete, so the page numbering won't match up with the newer complete course. This isn't a problem, however. The cards are self-explanatory and are useful as is-- they could even be used along with other guitar methods besides Alfred's. Especially helpful for visual learners. The cards are printed on sturdy card stock.

Product Review Summary: A Fantastic Reinforcement

I've been teaching guitar for the past two years, and with my young students (5 to 11 yrs old) this is a highly effective series. I recently got the flash cards to use as a teaching aid, and the results were immediate even with my most challenging students. The Kids Guitar series has a clear focus on both music theory and guitar technique. It is fun and engaging for the students, and builds gradually through a series of exercises until the student is comfortable playing all six strings in the first position using standard music notation (not tabs). My only wish is that they had a book three.
