Guitar Songs for Year 1
Here are simple guitar arrangements for some of the year 1 songs and/or tunes. If you do not know the tunes for these songs, you should go to one of the links on the 'Places to find songs and music' page. It is best if you learn the tune and then sing it with your children rather than use recorded music from other sites (especially as the KSSR text often uses new words to old tunes.)
The songs "Clementine" and "If You're Happy and You Know it" are on the Guitar - songs to start with page. (you can click the link here)
(You can click on "Fullscreen" and read the file on your computer, or click the download link for the same file below.)
