Playing the Ukulele
Why play the ukulele? First, it’s cool. Second, it’s inexpensive. Third, it’s easy. Fourth, it’s portable. Fifth, it’s FUN!We’re in the midst of a mini ukulele boom – sales are surging. Beginning students would rather pick up a ukulele than a recorder. They sound better, and they’re even easier to learn! They’re so simple, they’re the obvious instruments to get started on. By learning just 2 or 3 simple chords, you can play dozens of songs, including rock and roll and blues!
