I’ve been teaching Guitar for over 12 years in Rolleston, which is just outside of Christchurch. He passes on his understanding and skill in a clear concise manner. But most of all it has been fun and I can now confidently play the guitar." -Paul O’Dea

Kids Guitar Starter Kit - Refractive Music Kids 08/05/2026

I created this Kids Guitar Starter Kit to make starting guitar feel simple and achievable for young beginners.

One of the biggest things I noticed while teaching was how much confidence kids gained when they could play a song early on even with just a couple of easy chords.

So instead of focusing on lots of theory or exercises, this kit is built around simple songs, play-along tracks, and small steps that help kids feel successful from the start.

It’s also designed so parents can help, even if they’ve never played guitar themselves 🎸

This is "Space Chicken" — it's the first song almost all my young beginner guitar students learn in their very first lesson.

We go through the parts of the guitar, I show them their first two chords, and then I ask:

“Shall we play a song?”

There’s always a look of surprise — it’s the first lesson, and they’re already about to play something.

We go through "Space Chicken", and the reactions are always the same — excitement, surprise, pride… and often a quick glance toward Mum watching on.

The child’s face is beaming, and the parent usually is too.

That moment is exactly what I wanted to capture when I made the Kids Guitar Starter Kit — a simple way for kids to start playing real songs early on, without it feeling overwhelming.

You can listen to the full version of "Space Chicken" on Spotify, or if you’ve got a child who’d like to try playing it themselves, the kit is available now here https://kids.refractivemusic.com/kids-guitar-starter-kit/

Kids Guitar Starter Kit — Now Available

I’ve just released a new Kids Guitar Starter Kit, designed to help young beginners start playing real songs as quickly and easily as possible.

After years of teaching, I wanted to create something simple, engaging, and accessible — not just for kids, but for parents and teachers guiding them along the way.

The kit includes a step-by-step guide, 9 original songs, play-along tracks, and short video lessons.

It’s available now as a digital download.
