Buying a beginner musical instrument for your or your child can be incredibly confusing and can take lots of research, particularly if you have no prior experience of playing an instrument. 

​

Below is a list of beginner instruments we would recommend for new/young learners. Its always worth keeping an eye on facebook market place for instruments for sale locally and if you need any advice then please let Meg know. 

​

Guitar

​​

For agaes 7-12 we recommend 3/4 or 'mini' models with shorter scale length, slimmer necks and lighter bodies which are much easier for younger kids to play.

​

We have experience with the Fender Squire Mini Stratocaster but Ibanez is a good brand you could look at too.

​

From ages 10 up a standard size electric guitar is fine for kids as they do tend to have slim necks, however, they can be heavy so its worth checking the weight or even trying a few at a music shop  before making a decision.

​

Bass Guitar 

​

At CAMM we use the Ibanez GIO ultra shortscale bass for kids and adults alike! They are great instruments and very easy to play. 

​

A full size bass guitar is suitable for mid-teens up.
