Tipbook Music for Kids and Teens A guide for Parents and Caregivers

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 and 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!"
