Introduction-Why an A is Not Enough • Music Education is Important in Education
Music Education is important in Faith • Psalm 150 • 1 Praise the Lord.[a] • Praise God in his sanctuary; • praise him in his mighty heavens. • 2 Praise him for his acts of power; • praise him for his surpassing greatness. • 3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, • praise him with the harp and lyre, • 4 praise him with timbrel and dancing, • praise him with the strings and pipe, • 5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, • praise him with resounding cymbals. • 6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. • Praise the Lord.
Stringed Instruments Have Biblical Presence Psalm 92[a] A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day. 1 It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High,2 proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.
Types of Guitar Programs • Teacher led classes • Individual student performances • Ensembles • Jazz Ensembles • Orchestras • After school programs • Classroom instruction
Teacher led classes • Sunday School • Chapel • Preschool • Music Class • I will discuss some entry level materials for you to get started
Individual student performances • Students are taught outside of your school • Good if students are taking lessons • Challenges: • Parent taught lessons (what is their experience) • Lack of musicality in some lessons • Some students are not clear what they know • Internet based instruction
Ensembles • Melody • Harmony • Bass • Chords • Challenges: students learn the highest notes first, so often the more novice players get the melody
Levels in Guitar • Beginner • String 1 E-F-G • String 2 B-C-D • String 3 G-A • Most melodies can be arranged for this range • Rhythm is a challenge-smooth out to quarter notes • Ensemble music needs to be in unison rhythm • Quarter note strumming on the beat, no less than one measure chord change, better to have more though • 3 string chords • C Am D7 G G7 Em E
Levels in Guitar • Late Beginner • String 4 D-E-F • String 5 A-B-C • String 6 E-F-G • F# and C# might be introduced • All melodies can be arranged for this range • Rhythm is improving • Ensemble music can have some variety in rhythm • Quarter note strumming on the beat, changing per measure is obtainable • Some students might be ready for full chords • C Am D7 G G7 Em E • Some students are adding more chords • B7 D F E7 C7
Levels in Guitar • Intermediate • Full Chords • Bar Chords • Power Chords • Most melodies can be arranged for this range • Second position up to fifth position possible • Rhythm is a improving • Ensemble music can have counterpoint and harder rhythm
Other Paths to Learning • No note reading • Only tab notation • Only Power chords
Tuning • The music notation for guitar sounds one octave lower on a piano. So Middle C on the piano is actually on the second string, first fret. • On-board tuners for electric or acoustic electric • Battery tuners • Tablet apps • Clip on vibration type tuners isolate (“Snark”)
Music Theory to Teach • What is a chord • Types of chords and their function/feel • Chord Construction • Relation to chords relative to the key • Typical Chord Progressions (ie. I IV V vi)
Types of Notation • Strings 1=E 2=B 3=G 4=D 5=A 6=E • Picking • Left Fingers Thumb, Index=1, Middle=2, Ring=3 Pinky=4 • Right Fingers Thumb=p, Index=i, Middle=m, Ring=a

Method books 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. http://www.monteskircher.com/index.php?id=gintro&lang=en
