In this article, I’m going to look at what makes a Kids Guitar Course like Kids Guitar Dojo unique from typical face to face lessons or other online courses. We will also look at the reasons why learning the guitar from home is important during the current covid climate and how mastering skills through daily practice is what truly helps young beginners progress quickly.
Firstly, the only way to truly learn a skill is by actually doing it and to start playing the guitar at 5 years of age is clearly an advantage over starting in your teens.
Kid’s Guitar Dojo is a stress-free kids guitar course that takes the hassle out of regular guitar lessons. Driving to and from classes and reminding your child to practice is no longer a daily chore as this fun and easy guitar trying system ticks all the boxes.
Also known as training wheels for the guitar these colour fret board markers are easily fitted and removed. No crazy expensive led lights and bluetooth required!
These colourful emojis are like little road signs that guide little fingers around the neck of the guitar. Quiz questions reinforce the finger positions, string names and fretboard positions. The student is encouraged to remove the the markers as confidence grows.
This clever gamification system drives daily practice using Dojo Dollars and Badges of achievement to reward students for logging in and doing daily lessons.
Badges Of Achievement
This digital part of the course correlates perfectly with the hard copy book. Every time a student completes 7 consecutive lessons or Days of practice they receive a badge and a printable certificate of achievement.
Many parents decide to join in on the fun and learn guitar with their kids. A great way to bond and share the experience. We encourage this and provide a section on the website with useful video tips and guidance on how to provide a guiding hand.

This learning methodology is the key to success when building muscle memory. Instilling this early on has worked wonders for many students using the kids guitar dojo method.
KEY STEPS
Muscle memory is an interesting term as your muscles themselves can’t actually remember anything. They are however full of neuron’s attached to your nervous system.
The act of committing to a specific motor task through repetition leads to memory retention. If children can come to understand this concept it will serve them well though all their learning endeavours. In simple terms practice involves repeating the same thing over and over until the muscles learn that movement.
