Description

THE 'UKULELE MUSIC READER is a collection of music designed for anyone wanting to learn to play the 'ukulele or wanting to learn to read music on the 'ukulele. The music is in the form of music-notated exercises, arrangements of public domain material, and original pieces by the author that progress in difficulty at a very gradual pace. student who is a quick learner may skip to the level of music that suits her or his ability. Attention is also given to the mostpopular mode of recreational playing, the reading of chord symbols to strum as accompaniment to melodies that are either sung or played. Finally, ensemble music is included to enable the development of musicianship. The author believes that, when playing in an ensemble without a conductor, the performers must keep together as a group by feeling a common tempo, which requires listening to all the other players in the ensemble and making adjustments in tempo, as necessary, all of which develop musicianship.
