This is outstanding but be certain to get the book with the
DVD.
I bought this for my 11 year old daughter and I work through it with her but she could do fine on her own.
The DVD always has three images on the screen.
1. The adult teacher playing everything properly (close ups)
2. The child student playing along
3. The same music that is printed in the book scrolls on the screen bottom so that the student doesn't have to flip pages.
They start the kids on simplified one and two finger chords and then work toward full proper chords. It's a really good book.
We sit with my laptop on the coffee table and play the DVD. My daughter follows the lessons very well.
Very cool of you to do this for your niece!!
I love the way they put this together. Good stuff.
