Their first song, in the first week.
Songs your child already knows, a colour and an animal for every note, and ten minutes a day. The app listens to what they play and gives them stars.
From age 5 · 30 days free · no card needed · one sign-in for the family
Three things a day. Ten minutes.
They open the app and their session is waiting.
Warm up their ears (the app plays a few notes, they play them back), play a song, then write a tune of their own: eight boxes, six animals.
They listen, then it is their turn.
The app plays the song, then listens to your child through the microphone. One chord, then two, then three: every piece is a real song, played all the way through.
One finger first.
The first chords take one or two fingers: real chords that do not need a big hand. Three-finger chords come in year two.
Every star is a song they played.
One, two or three stars for what they played, and they never go away. With their points they climb from Ant all the way to Bear.
Two years, sixteen units, four grades.
A real written programme: four terms a year, two units a term. Year one is the songbook; year two is playing it properly.
Year 1
From “One chord, one song” to “Pieces, not exercises”.
Year 2
All six strings, a rhythm of their own, playing with somebody else, reading the dots, playing and singing — up to the concert.
Four grades
Pre-Grade, Initial Grade, Grade 1 and Grade 2. Our grades, not any examining board’s.
Certificates
One for every unit passed. They print on a single page.
You see what they really played.
The report
Units done, songs played all the way through, chords, days played — and the songs they can play.
To print
The week’s homework sheet, the full programme and the certificates.
Your eyes count
You tick what no microphone can judge: how they hold the guitar, playing in front of somebody.
The whole family
One sign-in. Each child has their own profile, level and stars.
Nothing is sent anywhere.
Everything is worked out on the device, from what was actually played. No advertising. The microphone only comes on if a grown-up allows it.
Songs they already know.
Traditional tunes from around the world, all out of copyright. Here are a few:
- Row, Row, Row Your Boat
- Frère Jacques
- Hot Cross Buns
- Au clair de la lune
- Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
- Old MacDonald
- London Bridge
- Oh! Susanna
- Jingle Bells
- Ode to Joy
- When the Saints Go Marching In
- Happy Birthday
Before you start
From what age?
From 5. The first chords take one or two fingers, and every note has a colour and an animal.
Do they need to read music?
No. Every note has a colour and an animal. Reading the dots comes in year two, when they can already play.
How long each day?
About ten minutes: three things, in order. Four days a week is enough.
What do we need?
A guitar their size, and a phone, tablet or computer with a microphone.
Do I need a card?
No. The first 30 days are free, with no card.
In which language?
Kreol, French or English. You can change whenever you like.
What if I have several children?
One sign-in for the family: each child has their own profile and their own stars.
Ten minutes a day, and they play.
