Product Description

A First Book of Twenty-Five Well-Known Tunes for Ukulele For Beginners

As a professional teacher of guitar, bass and ukulele of more than twenty-five years experience, it has often struck me that beginner ukulele players tend to be taught chords rather than melodies. Theres much to be said for enjoying the resonance of a chord, but many of my beginner pupils have loved playing tunes which Ive usually arranged myself. Therefore, Ive decided to collect twenty-five of these melodies and publish them in this collection.

The contents of this book are especially suitable for beginners as:

·       All the tunes are printed in notes and TAB

 ·       All the tunes have chord symbols to be played by fellow pupils or a teacher

·       The tunes are in large print. Its amazing how often teachers forget the difficulty young beginners have in reading notes, and how often scores are presented in tiny print (perhaps to save costs)

·       The melodies are well-known and popular

·       Some rhythms are simplified so that learners can concentrate on playing the instrument, rather than deciphering a musicians code. Teachers can add more-complex rhythms later should they wish

·       The keys chosen are idiomatic and comfortable for the instrument

·       The addition of TAB means that the tunes can be played on any size of ukulele, without the need to transpose.

·       Chords in brackets are either optional alternatives or reminders.

I have also written a humorous memoir of my time living and working as a musician in rural France. It makes the perfect gift for musicians. Its entitled Extracting Goats from Jean-Claudes Kitchen and is available at Amazon.

Thank you, and I do hope you enjoy playing these tunes as much as I have.
