Guitar for Kids: A success-based guitar curriculum for kids
Guitar is one of the mostly commonly requested instruments that kids want to learn. They’re motivated, excited… AND THEN THEY QUIT.
Why? The guitar is really hard for little hands. And as we teach kids the guitar, we might find ourselves:
Trying to teach kids that are too young (we recommend 9+)
Teaching full-sized chords to kid-sized hands (we recommend starting with mini-chords)
Teaching scale-based songs that kids aren't interested in learning (we recommend teaching their preferred music)
The problem? The guitar method books on the shelf are NOT made for kids in the 9 - 13ish age group. BEFORE they have stronger, larger hands. They need something specifically designed for THEM.
👉We have LOOKED (and looked and looked), and haven't ever found a stellar curriculum specifically developed for children that can teach guitar in a step-by-step, success-based way.
Until now. (WOOHOO!)
Guitar For Kids is our new success-based guitar method for kids 9+ developed by Jenna Hardy Pedersen.
Berklee College of Music graduate and music educator, Jenna, is laser-focused on helping her young guitar students succeed (and stick with!) the guitar.

A printable instructor's packet that includes worksheets and 14 ready-to-use songs
A printable student manual
A printable 70-page workbook that walks teachers and kids through dozens of guitar exercises
25 videos that demonstrate course concepts and suggested songs
A Zoom office hour so you can ask Jenna questions (a replay will be available)
