About the book

This children’s tenor banjo songbook is a collection of sheet music designed to help children get started on the tenor banjo in a gradual, motivating and age-appropriate way. The book presents a repertoire of traditional folk songs from the United States, melodies rooted in American musical culture that are appealing and easy to recognise.

The pieces are adapted to beginner level, with simple structures that let pupils work on reading music, rhythm and hand coordination without too much technical difficulty. This children’s tenor banjo songbook helps pupils achieve satisfying results from the first lessons, boosting their motivation and confidence in learning an instrument.

The repertoire includes traditional songs in English that are widely used in education, combining music learning with a first introduction to the English language. Working with folk songs supports aural memory and encourages singing and playing together.

This material is especially suitable for music schools, educational projects and teachers looking for accessible resources to introduce the tenor banjo in the classroom or in after-school activities. The songbook format offers clear, orderly progression, making it easy to plan lessons and follow pupils’ progress.

As well as its teaching value, this children’s tenor banjo songbook helps share traditional music from the United States with young people, encouraging respect for musical heritage and interest in instruments that are less common in children’s music education.

The book is part of the catalogue of CapaPublisher, a publisher specialising in quality educational music materials designed for progressive learning, the enjoyment of music and the development of artistic skills in childhood.

With advice from Joan Pinós.
