Playing the ukulele is an enjoyable; easy; and inexpensive way to get involved in music. It provides a way to learn musical concepts and skills that can apply to any instrument you decide to study.

This carefully crafted method emphasizes chord strumming skills; teaching students HOW to practice; note reading exercises; “chord challenges” to learn how to figure out chord progressions; tab reading; and more. It also includes nearly 30 familiar songs that students can play while still learning; including: All My Loving • Home on the Range • Hound Dog • Jambalaya (On the Bayou) • La Bamba • The Lion Sleeps Tonight • The Rainbow Connection • Take Me Out to the Ballgame • and more! Practice; experiment; and have fun playing the ukulele!
Named “The Best Ukulele Method for Beginners” by Wirecutter: “...Essential Elements for Ukulele Book 1 emerged as our clear favorite. Surprisingly; it's one of the few books that start out by explaining chordal playing instead of single-note playing and playing chords is what almost all beginners really want to do on uke; since that gets them directly into playing songs. We like that Essential Elements for Ukulele includes some useful; unintimidating lessons on music theory; and that it offers chord and strum charts in the back...”
