Synopsis

Wild About Guitars is an essential resource for guitar teachers. Aural, creative, notation and ensemble activities are clearly described, with step-by-step guidance. Pupils will develop their love of music making, and will progress in all areas of instrumental learning, working first with two notes and one finger chords, then five notes and two finger chords, then eight notes and three finger chords.
Activities will help pupils to:

• improvise melodies
• work out tunes and accompanying chords by ear
• learn new pieces without notation
• improve their reading skills

Activities are:

• Easy to fit into weekly lessons
• Suitable for individual, small and large group lessons, including several for ensemble and whole class
• Easy to combine with the tutor books and methods pupils are currently using
• Accompanied by photocopiable and audio resources for use in lessons, and for pupils’ home practice
• Performed almost exclusively on the instrument, integrating with, and consolidating your pupils’ technical learning
• Created to give your pupils the thrill of participating in real music making
• Ideal for beginner to grade 1.
