Download or read book Uke Can Do It 2 written by Philip Tamberino and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-07-20 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking work, specially designed for the music classroom, combines traditional and popular literature in a method that both teaches the ukulele and develops music literacy. Assuming no prior knowledge, the leveled content allows students to track their progress and teachers to reward benchmark achievements. Many popular pieces are written in the same key as their common recordings, allowing students to play along if they wish, and no singing parts use notation symbols that have not already been formally introduced. The book teaches students both how to read and write music on the treble staff but also offers opportunities to follow chord charts, improvise, and play by ear. By encouraging the development of these transferrable skills, Uke Can Do It 2 provides a solid foundation for lifelong music-making!

Download or read book Strum Strike Sing and Play written by Kate Hagen and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strum, Strike, Sing and Play is an ensemble-based ukulele book. This publication introduces students to the exciting and unique timbre of the ukulele. In recent years, the ukulele has reemerged as a versatile instrument capable of spanning multiple musical genres. This publication is not a typical ukulele teaching method or a technique book; rather it is a compilation of orchestrations featuring the ukulele. The arrangements in this book provide students with the opportunity to practice ukulele skills within the context of a larger ensemble. Teachers with only a limited number of ukuleles will find this publication particularly useful because the lessons feature multiple ways for students to participate in music making. The orchestrations are adjustable to fit the needs each classroom, allowing the teacher to leave out parts or change the instrumentation. Each lesson outlines a suggested teaching process based on the Orff-Schulwerk model. Students learn through the process of imitation, exploration, and improvisation--the foundational elements of the Orff approach. In each lesson, students are encouraged to sing, say, dance, or play. The active approach of this resource will help students develop a thorough understanding of musical concepts. The ensembles in this book are appropriate for day to day teaching as well as performances. The lessons represent a "seed" of an idea with the intention that educators will cultivate the repertoire to fit their environment. We encourage you to adapt, change, or mold each lesson to fit your students' needs.
