Hi Guys. How are you. I want to know if someone have experience to teach guitar to children between 8 and 14.... I think is more complicated than adults because are more distracted. If you help me with some points or strategies will great! Thanks! -------------------- .:: Colombian fingerstyle guitar player ::.

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Oct 2 2014, 07:55 AM)  Hey Oscar - I have about 3 kids here in Bucharest with whom I am working on guitar lessons. They are noisy, impatient and their attention is a very difficult thing to keep in only one place  With kids, everything has to be fun at first  You need to invent stories and to keep their attention lit, in order for them to learn. They learn differently then adults and I for one am learning how to teach them, as well. But, in order to reach them, you need to understand how to think like them And.. be patient  As an example, I always try to divide info in very small pieces and maybe create a little story around the info I want to give them. In that way, it'll be fun to learn and remember  What is your approach?Yeah Cosmin, i need to be patient. Nowadays kids are so distracted thanks to smartphones, tablets, etc... it´s a challenge... the most difficult thing is when their parents ask me... How was the guitar classes with my son? ..... and i answer.... man... at this moment he has lot of activities and the most important think is that he is enjoying ! is the first step.... Ok.. On the other hand... i always start my class to talk about movies... video games (recommended) .... jokes.... to connect with him/her but this strategy is not for all.... sometimes have kids serious and boring.... Thanks Cosmin ! you are useful as always!

No kids aren't the same but usually an active character of teacher helps them focus better, the like energy around them. Yeah man, i agree with you. Thanks!
