A hospital stay is stressful for anyone, but it can be especially hard on a child too young to understand why they hurt or a teenager old enough to be concerned about their own mortality. However, friends and family can help relieve the strain and boredom of a young person’s time in the hospital in a variety of ways.

First, call a family member or a nurse on the child’s ward to ask a few questions. The questions to ask are:

·  Is the child ready for visitors?

·  What are visiting hours? Are some times better to visit than others?

·  Are there any limits to the child’s mobility?

·  Are there any dietary restrictions?

·  Is there something in particular the child needs or would like to have?

Here are the stages of learning to effectively group teach children guitar.

Stage 1. The awakening - I began by doing rock band work with younger kids in a group environment and quickly realised that with out some class rules there was going to be a lot of noise and very little constructive progress. I wanted the kids to enjoy themselves so in those early days I would just go with the flow. I soon realised that the kids who were serious were actually becoming frustrated by those kids who just wanted to mess around. The serious students soon dropped out and the others also dropped out soon after simply because they were not really serious about learning guitar.

Stage 2. Setting rules - I then did some research on what great teachers do to get results with groups of kids. The answer was rules. I did not want to have a lot of rules so I thought about what rules made the greatest impact. I broke it down to 3 rules in the end. 1. Fill in your practice log. All students must fill in their log each day. If you are not practicing there is no point. 2. In class if you have a question put your hand up. 3. Only play when and what I ask you to. These rules ensure students were learning and progressing.

It has become socially unacceptable for teenagers not to own a mobile phone. They communicate with one another on a level that has created a sub culture and a language which can only be understood by them. Having said that, twenty or so years ago, teenagers had their own sub language in the spoken form anyway because teenagers need to set themselves apart from their elders and exist in a world which is exclusive to them.

Now, even text language has evolved and divided into sub languages over the last ten years. What was once ‘cool’ to type on text or email is now just ’so last year’ and it has moved on. There are levels of texting within texting and it has developed into its own language with its own etiquette.

Levels of literacy and numeracy are reportedly poor in teens. You don’t need statistics to point out these facts - you need only spend a few hours with a group of teenagers to realise that they place importance on other things. Whilst able to design a perfect power point presentation with spectacular graphics, using a pre-packaged suite on a well-known platform, teens seem unable to find the time to check their work for such things as spelling, grammar and so on. The basics are most definitely dead. With so many people arguing that there is no longer a need for a person to be able to spell for themselves because of spell checkers and predictive text, it seems that teenagers continue in ignorant bliss as to the detrimental effects that texting is having on them and the long term effects of society. We are even breeding a generation of teachers who aren’t able to correct their pupils’ work because they often don’t know any different either.

The Result - Here is an example. A good routine is to begin every class with 5 mins of isolated picking. Start slow and even then lift the tempo in steps. By doing this students will want to practice picking each week so they get faster. Next pick a skill and do 10 minutes. E.g. Reading. Next do another skill or song. 3 minutes revise and answer question or have a little fun. Show off your own guitar skills. Leave them on high. Pumped and motivated. Last 2 minutes try and speak to a parent or two. While you are doing this usher your next group in and ask them to start with the picking. Don’t ever leave them just sitting there
