Unit 1: First Things First
Checklist:
1. Buy ukulele
2. Buy tuner or download tuner app on smartphone
3. Stretch strings
4. Learn how to tune ukulele
Skip the steps that you have already done ;)
1. Buy Ukulele
In this video you will see the ukuleles that I recommend and that I have used in the classroom. Keep in mind that these ukuleles stood the test of time. They were played by hundreds of elementary students every week and they continued to sound great. That's why I am confident that they will serve you well.
My recommended ukuleles
(mentioned in the video above)
Something to keep in mind
New ukuleles tend to have new strings.
Whenever you tune a new ukulele, you stretch the strings.
Whenever you tune a new ukulele, you stretch the strings.
Imagine that you have a rubber band and you stretch it by pulling in opposite ways with both hands. Even though the rubber band can stretch quite a bit, it wants to go back to its original size. Strings are a lot like this. When you tune a string, you stretch it. You may have to tune and re-tune often in the beginning until your strings stretch and take their new shape.
2. Buy Tuner & 3. Stretch Strings
Buying a tuner is not necessary if you have a smartphone. I repeat, buying a tuner is not necessary if you have a smartphone. Simply download the Pano Tuner app and you will be happy :)
I do, however, recommend that you stretch the strings using the technique I show in this video. Stretching the strings will enable your ukulele to hold tune faster and longer.
4. Learn How To Tune
I am going to sound harsh, but I don't really like the videos on YouTube that "explain" how to use a clip-on tuner. The people making the video don't really cater their video to people who are absolute beginners, so I will be making a video about this.
Meanwhile, here's the best one I can provide you with.
If you find a better video, let me know! We can all benefit from your suggestion!

I purchased an enya smart ukelele. Can you help me get started
ReplyDeleteHi there, You are delightful! I'm confused about where I can download the chords and print them to follow a long with you. Thanks for any tip you can give me! Kim
ReplyDeleteHi Bernie,
ReplyDeleteI have been playing my uke for nearly a decade now. I'm fairly accomplished and play out at open mics often. Sadly there is ONE thing I can't do and would LOVE if you could help me with. I am a "Strummer" and want to learn how to pick. I was looking through your videos to try to find a picking lesson but was unsuccessful. I did see some but not for Baritone, which is what I play. Does such a video exist?
Thanks in advance,
Your friend and fan Chris
People often want to form a band or other musical group to get gigs, record music, and basically, make money in exchanging for plunking on instruments and looking cool. booking agentur

ReplyDeleteBernadette, I loved your super easy version of You are my Sunshine. I have trouble with strumming patterns and loved that it was just the down strum. Do you have more songs like that on YouTube?
ReplyDeleteBernadette has many songs like that. I would suggest maybe following through the 30 day ukulele challenge that she posted almost two years back if you are a beginner. If you're not a complete beginner, you would still benefit from the easy songs she teaches words the second half of the 30 day ukulele challenge. If you want easy songs like those to start with, I would recommend starting on day 15 where you can learn a new song.

I am so completely confused with how to read song sheets. An example is Let It Be. I have just watched your video and it's the first indication I have had that it's just two strums per chord. That's great, although some other sheets I have use different chords.
ReplyDeleteThen I look at sheets I have for other songs and again become totally confused as to WHEN to change. I have been trying to learn for about two years now, concentrating on learning the chords (all 6 that I now know), but when I try to apply that to playing a song from the sheet I become seriously discouraged. There doesn't seem to be any structure or pattern regularity from one song to the next. I think the best I can do is go to a music school expressly to learn how to read these sheets, then come back to the videos available online.
Meanwhile, thank you for your lessons.
Very useful info. Hope to see more posts soon!. เล่นเกมได้เงิน
