The first lesson may include note names and where they are located on the stave, rhythm duration and getting sound on each note one string at a time.

How Parents Can Help Kids Prepare

Parents can help by setting up the device, making sure the guitar is ready, and helping the child understand that mistakes are normal.

What Happens After the Lesson?

The student should leave with a clear practice assignment. This is one of the biggest advantages of structured lessons: students know what to do next.
