The course is designed to introduce the younger student to the basics of guitar playing and reading music. To maximise the students’ enjoyment, an extensive repertoire of well-known children’s songs have been carefully graded into an easy-to-follow, lesson-by-lesson format, which assumes no prior knowledge of music or the guitar by the student. Chord symbols and easy strum patterns are provided above each song.
