For Parents of Young Guitarists Ages Nine to Thirteen
If your young guitarist has shown a persistent love of music, the preteen years are a great time to nurture those interests more intensely. If they pursue music as a career, rounding out their education now will be a huge help later on. And if they change their dream-career a dozen more times, few extracurriculars nurture the developing mind as completely as a musical education can.
Check out my talented Lessonface student Luca and his original piece ‘Microscope’!
Luca is a piano student who lives in Sardinia, Italy and is currently taking theory and harmony lessons with me as a preparation for his Berklee College of Music Audition in the summer (Good Luck, Luca!).
I was recently at the Lessonface studio and recorded a tutorial for those interested in starting out with the Chromatic Harmonica.
You can check it out below:
Also, we used in the video a Chromatic Harmonica Chart to show you where the notes are in the Chromatic Harmonica, and you can get it here for free!
If music has been a constant presence in your young guitarist's life and he or she is considering a music career, high school is the ideal time to take that interest seriously. Here are some tools and tips to help them continue advancing on their instrument and to prepare for university music study.
