About the book

This English children’s songbook for guitar is an educational resource designed to expand children’s English vocabulary through music and playing an instrument. The book offers a repertoire of traditional children’s folk songs, mainly from the United States, adapted to be sung and played on the guitar.

The songs were chosen following current teaching criteria and recommendations from an association of teachers in the United States. As a result, songs with racist roots have been removed, along with songs unsuitable for children and pieces that don’t fit today’s educational values. The result is a respectful, inclusive songbook suitable for the classroom and the home.

This English children’s songbook for guitar helps children work on pronunciation, aural memory and understanding of basic vocabulary in a natural way. Singing while playing the guitar makes learning English easier, as it combines rhythm, repetition and speaking in a single activity.

The book is especially useful for music teachers, English teachers, educators and professionals looking for cross-curricular materials. It’s also a very valuable resource for music therapy, inclusive education and music-based learning projects, as it encourages every child to take an active part.

Designed for the classroom as well as after-school and family activities, this songbook invites you to sing, play the guitar and learn English in a fun and meaningful way. It’s part of the catalogue of CapaPublisher, a publisher specialising in educational music materials that promote respectful, critical learning adapted to children’s needs today.
