Van, Maybe you should ask the young lady what song she would like to learn or give her a few to choose from. Then brace yourself for three hours of Puff The Magic Dragon. LOL Let us know how it goes, Mary |

Some of the songs we did were ones we still sing: Desert Silvery Blue, Grandfather's Clock, The Seine, Polly Wolly Doodle, Hush-a-bye, Froggy went a courtin'. There are more listed in this old thread. That thread also has a link to Kadittles (sp) which is ALL kids' songs. Have fun! |

25 Dec 07 - 10:12 AM (#2222350) Subject: RE: songs for a ten year old From: GUEST,leeneia Get a book on how to play folk guitar and go through it with her. It will have a logical progression of lessons and will give her something to refer to between lessons. Why did you start with C? The C chords are difficult. I asked my guitar teacher why I had such a hard time with C, and he said, 'You're not supposed to play C on the guitar.' Better yet, tell the landlord you would love to help but are unqualified to work with someone so young. You worry that you might strain her delicate hands and arms. It would be true. |
