Product Overview
A carefully graded series of books offering favorite songs from our American heritage in arrangements that are pedagogically sound and fun to play. These books link American history with its music, as most of the music of today has its roots in traditional music. Folk music is not covered as well in schools as it was in the past, so books like The GuitarTime Popular Folk Series enable students to reflect on the diversity of our society and our cultural history. Students should be encouraged to sing along with the music whenever possible.
Books Feature:
- Optional teacher duets
- Chord symbols, and a "Chords Used In This Book" reference page
- "Notes Used In This Song" charts in early levels to aid in note identification
- Performance notes in other levels to help with position changes and right-hand technique; historical facts about the music are included as necessary
- Glossary of important terms and symbols
- Arrangements in both pick style and classical style
- Tablature and explanation in pick-style books
- An easy way to supply guitar ensemble music by using the student part, teacher duet, lyrics, and chord accompaniment
