In order to play the songs you will need a guitar or a ukulele. When the melody is hard to sing, a capo does the trick. Below you find some stuff I recommend.

Guitar

There is basically just one type of guitar that suits a beginner – a classical guitar. Why? Size and the strings. A classical guitar is avaivable in several sizes in order to fit perfectly for the small and tall. The strings are soft.

Age (y)	Guitar Size
2 – 5	1/8 or 1/4
5 – 8	1/2
8 – 12	3/4
12+	4/4 (standard, full size)

Strings

For classical guitar I recommend Savarez 510ARJ or La Bella 900 (black).

For western type guitar I recommend Elixir Nanoweb Custom Light.
