A First Book of Twenty-Five Well-Known Tunes for Ukulele For Beginners
As aprofessional teacher of guitar, bass and ukulele of more than twenty-fiveyears’ experience, it has often struck me that beginner ukulele players tend tobe taught chords rather than melodies. There’s much to be said for enjoying theresonance of a chord, but many of my beginner pupils have loved playing tuneswhich I’ve usually arranged myself. Therefore, I’ve decided to collecttwenty-five of these melodies and publish them in this collection.
The contents of this book are especiallysuitable for beginners as:
· Allthe tunes are printed in notes and TAB
· Allthe tunes have chord symbols to be played by fellow pupils or a teacher
· Thetunes are in large print. It’s amazing how often teachers forget the difficultyyoung beginners have in reading notes, and how often scores are presented intiny print (perhaps to save costs)
· The melodiesare well-known and popular
· Somerhythms are simplified so that learners can concentrate on playing theinstrument, rather than deciphering a musicians’ code. Teachers can addmore-complex rhythms later should they wish
· Thekeys chosen are idiomatic and comfortable for the instrument
· Theaddition of TAB means that the tunes can be played on any size of ukulele,without the need to transpose.
· Chordsin brackets are either optional alternatives or reminders.

I have also written a humorous memoir of mytime living and working as a musician in rural France. It makes the perfectgift for musicians. It’s entitled ‘Extracting Goats from Jean-Claude’s Kitchen’and is available at Amazon.
