The Childbloom Approach
I have been a Regional Director with the Childbloom Guitar Program since June of 2007. Childbloom Guitar is a structured music teaching system designed for children ages 5-12.
We use child-sized nylon string guitars, start with a "limited-rote" method, and progress to music reading, chords and theory.
The group lesson introduces them to ensemble playing early on, and gives them a peer group to progress with. There are free, voluntary recitals and public performances quarterly.
Your child can become a well-rounded, literate, musician. The curriculum used in the Childbloom Program is comprised of music arranged in parts; the student not only learns solo playing skills, but ensemble skills as well. The small Childbloom class can accommodate the young child’s attention span and the adolescent’s expanding social horizon. Dr. Hal Grotevant, Psychologist of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, whose son and grandson were Childbloom students, described the Childbloom Program as “providing individual attention in a low-pressure environment.”

Lessons are 1/2 hour weekly in a group of 2-4 students, and are held in my studio in Sandpoint, Idaho. There are 42 lessons in a year.
As a part of your child's enrollment you will receive:
- Membership to the Childbloom Club Online Program which contains all of the music your child will learn in the first few months
- Printed copies of the music your child will learn to perform
- An informative monthly newsletter from the national headquarters in Round Rock, Texas.
