Learning to read music is hard work and a child often gets confused and frustrated by the complex symbols and signs that make up written music. This teaching method allows the child to play and gradually make sense of written music. To play guitar and make music straight away, reading music not required but like an old man getting into a hot bath, it is a process that will happen gradually. In this video, lesson 26 in the series, The student learns how to work out note names using imaginary notes when the notes don't move by step.
A story, woven into the pieces, evolves as the student progresses. As for being a part in an evolving story, we learn that Simon, the main character tells his friends that his sister eats worms. This sets the scene for some sibling rivalry that many children can relate to.
