Are you ready to unlock your child's musical potential and provide them with a lifelong passion for music?
As someone who understands the transformative power of music firsthand, I'm thrilled to introduce you to YGS Kids/Teens – an exciting and educational course designed to ignite your child's love for playing guitar.
Music was more than just a hobby for me during my schooling years – it was a lifeline. Whether facing bullies or navigating through heartbreaks, music was always there, offering solace and strength. It helped me discover my true self and build an inner resilience that has shaped who I am today.
Now, I'm on a mission to share the joy and benefits of music with others. That's why I created YGS Kids/Teens, a comprehensive program that goes beyond teaching guitar skills. With interactive lessons, engaging activities, and personalized support, YGS Kids/Teens empowers children to explore their creativity, boost their confidence, and develop lifelong skills.
Here's what sets YGS Kids/Teens apart:

Benefits of Music Education for Kids/Teens:
-
Pulls attention away from negative stimuli
-
Playing an instrument or singing provides a positive and absorbing activity that can divert children's attention away from negative stimuli or stressful situations. Focusing on music allows children to shift their attention towards constructive and enjoyable experiences.
-
- Releases dopamine, the "feel-good" chemical
-
Music has the power to trigger the release of dopamine in the brain, which is associated with pleasure and reward. When children participate in music activities, such as playing instruments or singing, they experience feelings of enjoyment and satisfaction, leading to the release of dopamine and reinforcing their interest in music.
-
- Stimulates brainwaves
-
Playing an instrument requires coordination between different brain regions, leading to synchronized brainwave activity. Additionally, listening to music can entrain brainwaves, influencing mood, attention, and cognitive function. Overall, music education engages the brain in complex ways, promoting neural connectivity and cognitive development.
-
- Improves your state of mind
-
Learning music provides a creative outlet for self-expression and emotional release, leading to an improved overall mood and mental well-being. And promoting feelings of happiness, relaxation, and fulfillment.
-
- Reduces the perception of pain
-
Music has been shown to have analgesic effects, meaning it can reduce the perception of pain. Participating in music education activities, such as playing instruments or singing, can distract children from physical discomfort or pain they may be experiencing. Additionally, listening to music can trigger the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain relievers, further reducing the perception of pain.

I am thoroughly impressed with how you are able break things down in an easy and understandable way, demonstrating patterns, and providing a context to everything you teach. This is truly the only way to learn and understand playing the guitar.
Bill M.
My fianceé is from Costa Rica and it's been 3 months since she last visited.
We just got back to the States after my short visit.
Last night she heard me play my guitar and she couldn't believe it was me playing.
She was amazed at how much I improved.
That is proof positive, Erich's, program works!
Thank you Erich Andreas.
Steve E.
Erich, I have just finished watching day two. I have to say, your teaching style is phenomenal.

Hi Erich. Another late starter here (60+) and, after many attempts with lessons, mostly one-on-one, and years of frustration, seeing little to no progress, I've finally found out that I'm not "broken" and that I actually do have the ability to play the guitar. :) The content, pace, and variety of your lessons is perfect for me, and I look forward to each new session.
David B.
Thanks for the great course Erich. The daily exercise was exactly what I needed. Not only did this course allow me to improve my skills, it established a habit of learning.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate the quality of these instructional videos. It's obvious that a lot of effort, time and consideration has gone into these courses. Although it's early in the training program, I look forward every day to the next lesson. I can't tell you how motivated I am to get back to where I used to be able to play. I couldn't agree with you more on the fundamental building blocks of this program.
