Everything parents should know to support and guide the musical development of their children. Some of the main topics are: why music is so important selecting an instrument (including aspects such as your child's age physical limitations instrument prices availability band & orchestra needs etc.) buying and renting instruments all aspects of music education (music programs for toddlers grading systems seeking a teacher etc.) how to make practicing fun and effective instrument classifications different types of bands and orchestras and much more. A comprehensive and extremely practical book. ( Stringendo ) A 'help' or 'how-to' book arrives on my desk every other month indeed a positive trend. Tipbook Music for Kids and Teens is among the best of the bunch covering every conceivable area. There is a human 'hands-on' quality to this book which promotes the message of enjoyment in music-making and offers every imaginable help towards this end. Well done Tipbook team!
