ac/D.C.'s "TNT" was an early favorite of my boys. They also ask me to play it on guitar at home and the younger one seems eager to learn it himself. It's damn simple so a good starting point.

that track is pretty darn good! also i initially misread your name as DJP and i thought it was one of his little guys making it.My daughter plays a game with me where she holds my hand by the wrist and uses it to make me slap myself with it. Today it occurred to me to show her the Losing My Edge video and she got a real kick out of trying to make me slap my face at the same time James Murphy got slapped.

Her road to Imagine Dragons fandom came through the world of Minecraft animations.

slippery slope
Any recommendations for apps or interactive websites for kids to start to learn the basics of music? Note values, rhythm, rests, and on from there... Seven-year-old will be starting his first piano lessons in a couple of months and I would like to give him a better foundation before he starts. I've taught him some of it but I'm no music educator. Barely a musician at all.
Or even youtube videos or series of good quality?
