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!
