I actually think it could be ok. I learned at a young age and it is mostly finger exercises and very simple three note melodies at that level. I wish I could give you a resource but not sure about online. Maybe call and ask someone at Chuck Levins the music shop in Wheaton, MD?

It is nice to see you support this even when you don’t have experience. It takes plenty of practice but when you learn at a young age it is so much easier than when you are older.
