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.
