The instrumental instruction in
connection with singing, with
guitar intro the kids play guitar
and sing at the same time, is
the ideal way three important
musical aspects, namely
melody, harmony and rhythm
to meet and unite. Of course
the motor coordination and
their known positive effect
depends on the concentration
of the children to which
participate in these activities.
Classes in groups of up to 15
children not only enables an
inexpensive teaching program,
the social development of
children is promoted thereby.
The specially designed books
(Chanterelle Verlag ECH 4101
& 4102 & 4103) includes all the
songs of the training plan for
Baden-Württemberg, the
instrumental lessons learned in
the songs so perfectly suited
for integration into school
celebrations, etc.
