A Curiosity Based Approach
Music and Beyond
The joy and fulfillment music, and learning to play it is more than enough of a reason to start, there are a lot of often-overlooked benefits. Playing the classical guitar has many developmental benefits that researchers have thoroughly studied and proven. Some of them include improving one’s coordination, analytical and spatial thinking, sensitivity, confidence and social interaction, among countless others.
While learning these values is highly important, being too strict can often have the opposite effect, which is why I build my lessons in a way that is refreshing and fun, without any judgement, building confidence for the continuous growth of a future musician.
Building Musical Foundations for Beginners
The road to musical excellence in classical guitar for children always begins with building strong foundations: from the right sitting posture, to holding the guitar in an optimal way. You will also learn how to sight read and understand music, and of course, playing the classical guitar using simple, yet enjoyable songs all kids know.
Intermediate to Advanced Classes
Intermediate guitar lessons for children, is where the basic knowledge previously learned is taken a significant leap towards understanding chords and advanced pieces. You will also develop your own style of playing, and increase your reportoire.
If desired, you will also get the encouragement and more advanced teachings that will enable you to progress towards getting into dedicated music programs in the future, and learn about performances in recitals, solo, or alongside others.
Guitar for Kids
The “Guitar for Kids” book series was constructed and designed with the musical development of small children in mind on their road to excelling. The music terminology and instructions are spread out in easy to follow, short sessions with a large emphasis on soothing illustrations.
Inside you will find anything from the basics, such as how to read musical notes, or how to play melodies and chords, gradually. All the lessons are taught using Israeli children’s songs as well as international songs in the first book of the series, as well as duets, and guitar repertoire in the second book.
Students will acquire a solid technique that will act as cornerstones and will help them in the following years. Teenagers as well as adults can also partake and enjoy the “Guitar for Kids” series.
