3 All Play Guitar - Level 1 Introduction These books are designed to give you solid musical training while you LEARN SONGS. Our books support 3 different steps in your musical journey, first you PLAY music, then you UNDERSTAND music, finally you CREATE your own music. This book is the FIRST BOOK in the PLAYING section. At the back of this book is the NOTES section. At the end of each lesson your teacher should write a brief description in the notes section, of the things you should work on in between lessons. This gives you a clear outline of what to work on, as well as how far you have come. At the very back of each book is a checklist of information that you should understand before moving on to the next book. And the COMPLETION page, stating that you learned all of the info on the checklist. Upon completing each level/book you instructor will notify the office and we will send you a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION and the book for the NEXT LEVEL. What you should expect when your teacher gets to your house. There must be ADULT SUPERVISION other than the instructor in the home while the lesson is conducted. Your teacher should ARRIVE ON TIME, and should leave on time. Your teacher should have a Guitar, amp, tuner, and a way to play recordings. Your teacher should set up for the lesson in a PUBLIC PLACE in the house, preferably the living room or den. This location should have good lightning, chairs that support good posture (like dining chairs), and a power outlet. Your teacher should always encourage and facilitate the learning of SONGS. If you have questions or concerns about your lessons please call our office at: (310)
