Chords for Kids (Pick Up and Play)

Chords are one of the most important ways that children can learn about music. They provide a fast route into playing with others and encourage a feeling for structure and composition.

Chords for Kids covers the basic chords in each key, including majors, minors, triads, fourths, sixths, sevenths, and ninths. With notation and TAB, this book is a handy resource for children and early learners of guitar and keyboard.

The simple and clean layout provides chord diagrams on each spread for both guitar and keyboard, allowing a parent or teacher to explain easily. Using a simple tab-per-key approach, it covers all the basic chords in each key, with some variations included at the back for further exploration.

Author Jake Jackson is a writer, editor, or contributor to over 30 music books, including Scales and Modes, How to Play Guitar, and Play Flamenco.
