The ukulele is an extremely popular instrument and even quick to learn. Quickly the first pieces can be mastered and the playing fun can begin.
Schott Music Jeder kann Ukulele offers a (re-) beginner's course for all who would like to play and inspire on the small South Sea instrument. It also covers the theoretical aspects about the ukulele itself and its handling. For a practice-oriented learning, the techniques are taught using well-known songs, which quickly create visible progress and already a solid repertoire.
The downloadable audio tracks are a valuable aid to practice. The tracks are recorded in a well playable tempo that is easy to follow.
