ChordBuddy, LLC, makers of the popular ChordBuddy Guitar Learning System recently announced that its products have received the AblePlay seal of approval given by the National Lekotek Center to exceptional products, which are specially evaluated for children of all abilities.
The company’s original ChordBuddy can be easily attached to the neck of any standard electric and acoustic guitar for “instant guitarification” by pushing multi-colored buttons instead of having to make complex chords. Also, the new ChordBuddy Jr, is a half-sized guitar with a special ChordBuddy device attached allowing kids 4-8 to play songs on the very first day. Both products are designed to require less finger strength and coordination in order to create a positive first musical experience for the musician.
“The amazing gift of playing the guitar should be available to all kids regardless of their abilities,” said Travis Perry, CEO of ChordBuddy. “Receiving this seal is validation of our work to spread the joy of music making to every home and classroom in the world.”
“The Chordbuddy provides encouragement to ‘stick with it’ and gives kids the confidence and self-esteem they need to keep improving!” said Stephanie Sears, Bilingual Family Play Specialist at the National Lekotek Center.
