About this item
"Once the recorder was the first musical instrument that you learned to play at school, but these days the ukulele is becoming the most popular classroom choice. It's cheap, light, easily portable, suitable for children's small hands and can be used to play a surprisingly wide variety of songs and musical styles.Aimed at children, "Ukulele for Beginners" is a perfect introduction. From choosing which kind of ukulele to learn to how to hold the instrument, from learning the names of the different strings to playing first chords, from strumming patterns to finger-picking, from simple first songs such as My Darling Clementine to more complex ones like Somewhere Over The Rainbow, the book guides the new learner through all the necessary steps.
About the Author
I'll tell you now, there's some truth to Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining, so it's probably a good thing that I'm not a grumpy, alcoholic git. I haven't slept with any ghosts yet either, but hey, never say never. I'm English - with a selection of crunchy European bits - but I've often spent years at a time wandering the world. At the moment though, I'm back living in London.When I'm not writing, I'm likely to be busy publishing via Ghostwoods Books, gwdbooks.com. Excellent novels are always welcome -- submission guidelines are on the gwdbooks website.I twitter assorted random lunacy as @ghostwoods. Drop by and say hi!
