Spiel Mit Auf Deiner Gitarre - Grundstufe - Schule Des Gitarre-Spiels

Released in 1970 by Deutsche Grammophon, this instructional record serves as the auditory accompaniment to the pedagogical book Spiel mit auf deiner Gitarre. Developed by the Blankeneser Musikkreis under the guidance of educator Felicitas Kukuck and collaborators Gerda Schefe and Gertrud Loos, the project reflects a concerted effort in the post-war German music education movement to provide structured, accessible materials for amateur guitarists. It occupies a unique space in the Deutsche Grammophon catalog, which typically focused on high-art classical recordings but occasionally produced specialized educational resources.

The design and approach of the record prioritize clarity and pedagogical progression, reflecting Kukuck’s background as a composer who was deeply involved in the youth music movement. By integrating formal instruction with musical exercises, the collection was intended to demystify the guitar for students during an era when folk and classical guitar study was seeing a surge in popularity within German households and youth groups. It is regarded today as a primary document of 20th-century music education in West Germany, preserving the stylistic and teaching methodologies favored at the time.
