A carefully graded series of books offering favorite songs from our American heritage in arrangements that are pedagogically sound and fun to play. These books link American history with its music, as most of the music of today has its roots in traditional music. Folk music is not covered as well in schools as it was in the past, so books like The GuitarTime Popular Folk Series enable students to reflect on the diversity of our society and our cultural history. Students should be encouraged to sing along with the music whenever possible. Books are listed by level of difficulty.
