Essential Elements for Ukulele - Method Book 1 with Online Audio | Beginner Level Chords, Strumming, Note Reading and TAB | Step-by-Step Ukulele Lessons with 30 Songs | Easy Music Book

I have this and the "Ukulele Method" book 1 and like this one much better. It starts off with strumming so knowing 2, 3 basic chords you can play something enjoyable. It talks about reading notes and playing individual notes. All other Ukulele books are so basic you can just go on YouTube and hit out a few songs. But this really takes you from beginner and if you practice enough the content takes you to playing advanced songs. There's also practice methods which many books skip out. For reading music notes I like how you can play a few songs just knowing a handful of notes. It makes you feel like you're learning and confident to push on. It's a jam packed book and once you go through it you can just get song books.

Never picked up a ukelele before and this is a nice book to start. I am sure there are others, but this is the one I chose and I recommend it...again I knew nothing and had nothing to compare it with

After trying to teach myself how to play the ukulele for a couple of months, I decided to pick up this book. At first I thought that it was too basic. But about a third of the way in to the lessons, I realized the techniques being taught were essential to learning. The techniques are presented in a thoughtful and methodical way so even an advanced music learner is bored, but is mastering the basics of the ukulele. Some skills, like finger picking, I thought I would never master, have improved greatly. The book teaches chords, strumming techniques, and finger picking notes.

I bought this but probably should’ve gotten 2nd edition. I recommend getting 2nd edition if you already have knowledge on music theory

This is one of the most clear and concise method book I’ve ever experienced. It covers just about everything you need to know about tab, chords, reading music all in an easy to understand format.

I’m a music teacher (20+ years) and I’m very picky when it comes to method books. I sent a different one back. This one teaches a combination of chords, strumming patterns and note reading as well as a bit of tab. I’ve mostly used the chords and strumming patterns. I like the selection of songs for middle schoolers. There’s an online accompaniment to go with the exercises and songs. My 7th and 8th graders have really enjoyed it.

Excellent instructions for budding musicians and those who want to learn a new instrument for fun. Thorough. Includes many chord variations and an interesting collection of songs. Looks like a lot of fun.

Mi niño esta con clases de ukelele y su maestra se lo pidio, parece facil de entender

Exactly what I needed to learn ukulele. Easy to follow and progresses through some good, contemporary music. Excellent chord charts and photos.

This is a fantastic beginner book for someone with or without a musical background. The audio tracks are very helpful.

Great book for beginners

O método chegou no prazo certo e sem danos. Didática ótima!

The book is an excellent starting to new ukulele lovers. It would have much better if right hand picking fingering also mentioned. As these is a beginer material the students are expected to use thump for picking through out these book.
