Download or read book SmartStart Ukulele written by Jessica Anne Baron and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to play ukulele is fun and rewarding. This book aims to help you achieve your goal by teaching you one new skill at a time. Once your fingers successfully accomplish each task, you¿ll be ready to move ahead. Learning is kept interesting by practicing new songs between each new skill. This SmartStart Ukulele method has been developed as part of an educational non-profit called Guitars in the Classroom (abbreviated ¿GITC¿) that is strengthening music programs in schools around the United States. GITC trains teachers to play, sing, write and lead music with their students as a part of the lessons in every subject area at school. You can learn more and find additional helpful resources at www.guitarsintheclassroom.org or visit GITC on Facebook at www.facebook.com/guitarsintheclassroom.One very special feature of this book is our use of the Aquila KIDS colored strings. Each one has its own bright color to give you an easier way to know where to put your fingers. The strings sound pretty and feel good, too. When you learn to read the chord charts, you will be able to compare the chart to the real colored strings of your ukulele as a helpful guide. The SmartStart method starts you off in a Hawaiian ¿slack key¿ style ukulele tuning called ¿Open C.¿ This makes your ukulele much easier to play initially, while your fingers are getting used to strumming chords. Why is this better? Regular ¿standard¿ tuning requires your hand to ¿think¿ in an unfamiliar way. Finding, forming and changing finger positions can be awkward at first, and switching from one chord to another in standard tuning usually slows beginners down and can be frustrating. But learning to play in Open C tuning makes it possible to have more fun strumming and singing right away! We hope you enjoy learning to play the ukulele the way thousands of GITC teachers and students have already done in Open C, then progress to standard tuning! You can also find longer versions of each song in this book online at www.education.korg/SmartStart.
