Everyone knows popular children's songs like "My Grandma Rides a Motorcycle in the Chicken Coop," "The Monkeys Race Through the Forest," or "Fox, You Have Stolen the Goose." How wonderful it would be to simply grab the guitar and accompany the joyful singing with beautiful sounds. And who wouldn't want to sing and accompany birthday songs, movement and dance songs, as well as songs about animals and fairy tales – or even morning and evening songs, spring, summer, autumn, winter, and Christmas songs?

Those who tune their guitar to C major using the JelGi method can easily create the respective chords by shortening the strings with the index finger of their left hand. For children, the chords can be divided among different guitars using a capo. In addition to the JelGi numbers, regular chords for traditional guitar tuning are also provided. The songs come with stories for reading aloud and picture cards for storytelling theater available for download. Additionally, there are MP3 playbacks, tips for strumming techniques on the guitar, and song accompaniment with Orff instruments or Boomwhackers for making music with children. The simple playing method and quick learning successes put the joy of singing and making music at the forefront.
