Chris teaches children the guitar ______.
Interviewer: Could you tell me what you do for a living?
Teacher: Um, I work as a guitar teacher in a number of local schools.
Interviewer: How do you actually begin to teach somebody to play the guitar?
Teacher: Well, I should make it clear first that I teach mainly classical guitar, er, that is playing tunes on the guitar itself rather than just using the guitar to accompany a singer. The most important thing to start with I think is getting people to sit in the correct position, in that you need a small stool to put your left foot on, and then also to make sure that the pupil is holding the guitar correctly and that their hands are in the right position.
Interviewer: Do some people find that difficult though, to get their hands right on the guitar?
Teacher: Yes, yes, er, I think if you said to somebody now play these few notes on a guitar their technique would be all wrong. The things you have to learn don’t come naturally at all. They are something you have to learn to do.
Interviewer: Is it easier to teach younger children or easier to teach older children? What’s the best age to start learning the guitar?
Teacher: In my experience I think that about 10 or 11 is quite a good age to start; it is possible to start younger; I’ve had one or two pupils who’ve started about the age of 7 or 8 and it’s been quite successful but not always, There are the usual problems with young children keeping their concentration and practising. No, I would have said about 10 or 11. Adults too are interesting. I think children have an advantage over adults; they’re often more physically able; they have more ability in their hands and fingers than adults. For this reason they often find it easier.
Interviewer: Is there anything you find really frustrating about teaching children though?
Teacher: Well, occasionally you come across children who are doing it because their parents want them to do it and they don’t want to do it, and that can be a very frustrating situation in that they have got no motivation at all.
Interviewer: But on the whole you enjoy teaching children?
Teacher: Oh yes, yes, I do. I find it very rewarding actually, about 90 percent of the time. I would be less than honest if I said all the time. sometimes when you’ve got one be- ginner after another, Maybe they haven’ t done as much practice as you would want them to, then you find your mind wandering a bit, thinking of all the things you could be doing but it is rewarding and I do enjoy it.
