Fun cover too!" - Jim Beloff, author of The Daily Ukulele "I enjoy the lessons. The book and online videos are great for a novice." Greg "Thanks for the help! I'm really enjoying the ukulele and your lessons." Peggy H. "Thanks for the help! I'm really enjoying the ukulele and your lessons!" Peggy H. "I've only been trying to play ukulele for about a month. Can play most instruments by ear but only the melodies, hopeless with chords. Bought another beginner's book on the uke but found it hard to follow. Most of the people on Youtube talk too much and too fast and don't talk you through the procedures. You on the other hand are easy to follow. Thank you very much and glad that you are ready to help us learners." Mick Connor "Hi Rebecca, I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much I'm enjoying your ukulele books. I started with ukulele in August, and have pretty much been exclusively using you and your sister's books, and I love them! The way they are laid out, and the supplemental videos - it is all so helpful. A few people got me some other ukulele books for Christmas, and I found them really lacking in details and instruction compared to your books. After Christmas I bought myself your Intermediate book and it's just perfect for incremental progress. I love all the helpful tips and how you break down the chords and give alternate fingerings as well. I always recommend your books to people I meet who are thinking of taking up the ukulele." - Rebecca Castelli, voice teacher "I am a violin player and private teacher who began learning and eventually teaching other instruments over the past several years. As a teacher, I am very happy with the clear design of your music, including chord diagrams at the top and that you repeat songs with different techniques. As a student (ukelele is a recent endeavor for me), I also greatly appreciate that strum patterns and finger picking styles are included. Strumming has never been my strong suit. Having different suggestions and also having access to actually having the finger picking written out has been very helpful and a huge confidence builder for me." - Terry Barrett From the Author Are you a complete musical beginner? My sister Jenny Peters and I wrote this book for you. If you've already played some guitar or another stringed instrument like violin this book might be too easy for you. I'd recommend you start with 21 More Easy Ukulele Songs: Learn Intermediate Ukulele the Easy Way. First you'll learn three basic strumming patterns. Next you'll learn the five easiest ukulele chords (C, A minor, F, C7, and G7), one at a time. Yes, there are one chord songs in this book, also known as "rounds". We teach all songs 'sing and strum' which means you sing the melody and strum the chords. Learning this way helps you learn to change chords with your left hand and keep your strum going at the same time. If you're not a singer you can strum along with the online lesson videos included with the book. You can access the free lesson videos by creating an account at our website ukulele.io. All the songs in the book are written in standard music notation. Can't read music? No worries! We chose familiar tunes so you'll probably know how they go already. Simply read the words to see where to change chords. Or you can watch the free lesson videos at ukulele.io for songs you don't know. We give a lot of "how to" details in this book to make strumming and hand placement easy to understand. We've also included tips on the most efficient ways to practice. Once you've finished this book you'll be ready to tackle easy pop songs and to move on to our other books. Happy Strumming! From the Inside Flap Complete Songlist: Are You Sleeping?
