The music was professionally recorded by the author in a recording studio and the dynamic illustrations were done by designer Lisa Fu. Each song has lyrics that a parent or child can read before or as they listen to the song. Simple music notation is printed at the bottom of each song and shows the notes that the child should play on their guitar. With the help of a guitar teacher or a parent that has some guitar knowledge, a young beginner has a high rate of success using this method book. After trying several children�s method books without much success author, Kelly Weeks decided to create this book. He believes that learning to play music is similar to learning to speak, imitation should precede basic reading and writing skills. He developed this book as an answer for children 4 and up who truly want to play guitar but may not be ready to read music notation.
Hello! I just downloaded this for my 7 year old son - I think it'll be perfect! I was wondering though, I don't see where the melodies are - only the lyrics. Is there some way to get the melody?
You don't see the music notation at the bottom of each page? Every song has lyrics and the music notation below marked "piano 1" and "piano 2." You should have also received the audio jam tracks for each song. Does this make sense?

Hi Kelly~ I'm excited to start this with my 7 year old son (who has been taking piano for a few years, but hasn't done anything like this). My question is: are the melodies written down somewhere?
