Guitar "Recital"

My older son had his first “recital” recently.  He began playing the guitar using Alfred’s Kid’s Guitar Course about two months ago.  He picked a song that he had practiced for awhile and played it in front of several members of his family.  This first guitar course is a DVD program that takes a child through learning how to tune a guitar, learning several chords and playing simple songs.  He eventually wants to work his way up to playing an electric guitar.

He typically has one “lesson” per week where I make sure his guitar is in tune and I watch him follow along with the DVD instructor making sure he is doing what the teacher says.  I then require him to practice at least 5 minutes before school every day.  Not much, I know, but he is progressing with only 5 minutes practice per day.
