Here are 5 secrets few guitar teachers know about teaching guitar to kids:

How To Teach Guitar To Kids Tip #1. Your Guitar Students MUST Have Fun

Your #1 job is to keep your kid students *wanting* to come back to their next lesson.

If your kid guitar students are not having fun – it won’t be long before their parents pull them out of lessons.

And that’s not good for anybody, because your kid guitar students miss out on a lot of learning…

…and you miss out on the income you could have made from teaching guitar to kids.

How do you do this?

The easiest way to make guitar lessons fun when teaching guitar to kids is to follow…
 

How To Teach Guitar To Kids Tip #2. Teach Your Kid Guitar Students In Groups.

When you teach group lessons the right way, they are way more fun than private lessons.

Teaching guitar in group guitar lessons gives you plenty of chances to turn guitar lessons into a fun game where all your students feel engaged & recognized.

They see that they are not the only ones making mistakes when learning something new.

They don’t feel silly for asking questions.

They quickly make friends with your other kid guitar students.

All this helps them become better guitar players faster.

Plus: playing in groups helps your kid guitar students develop real-life guitar playing skills and feel like true musicians.

Things like: ability to overcome stage fright (they never learn this in private lessons), playing in time, and playing with other musicians.

How To Teach Guitar To Kids Tip #3. Get Your Kid Guitar Students Playing Music ASAP.

Few guitar students (and even fewer kids) want to work on a skill for months with nothing to show for it.

So, as you are teaching guitar, get your kid students playing simple versions of song and melodies they (and their parents) can recognize. This not only helps your kid guitar students have fun, but also impresses their parents.

The secret to doing this?

Train your kid guitar students to change chords smoothly.

Tip: you can start with very simple guitar chords (that don’t even use all 6 strings).

Switching between these (simple) chords is a huge milestone and a massive boost for your kid guitar students’ confidence.

How To Teach Guitar To Kids Tip #4. Get Good At Teaching Guitar Using The Geometric Approach^TM.

The Geometric Approach^TM helps your guitar students develop their skills more quickly and have a lot more fun in the process. This is better than the linear approach (where your students stay on one topic for a long time before moving on).

When you design your guitar lesson strategy for your kid guitar students, think about all skills they’ll need to get their guitar playing off the ground and have fun along the way.

And while you are teaching guitar to kids, make sure that all (or at least most of) the necessary skills are improving at the same time. (Instead of one at a time.)

This ensures your kid guitar students have fun every step of the way and your guitar teaching job becomes much easier and more rewarding.

How To Teach Guitar To Kids Tip #5. Get The Parents On Your Side

The more your students’ parents see their child improve and have fun, the more committed they’ll be to keep them in lessons with you.

Here are the best ways to do this:

1. Talk to the parents of your kid guitar students before they start lessons. Explain to them how guitar lessons (and specifically – guitar lessons with you) will help their child as they get older.

This not only helps parents decide to sign up their child for guitar lessons with you…

… it also helps them prioritize guitar lessons over other activities their child could be involved in (like sports).

2. Show the parents of your kid guitar students proof of how well their child is doing. All parents love seeing other people praise their children. This makes them feel proud and even more certain they made the right decision to enroll their child into guitar lessons with you.
