Ukulele Primer Book for Beginners with Online Video Access

If you are beginner then I would suggest to not go for this book because it is not that much explained which is needed for a beginner

Parfait

I give this book an enthusiastic A+.After examining several other beginner ukulele books it was refreshing to find this book which combines the benefits of several, all in one. Ideal for brand new beginners or for others (like me) who have more musical training, the information and instructions in this book can benefit all.I am currently teaching a class of 15 beginning ukulele players and am using the Table of Contents from Bert Casey's Ukulele Primer as the curriculum for my class. All the written instructions can be reinforced with viewing and following along with Bert Casey on the DVD.Some highlights that distinguish Bert Casey's book, DVD and instructional approach are:Strumming instructions concurrent with the melody line and learning the chords for each song15 songs are included, fun to play & sing, starting with "He's Got the Whole World" using only 2 chordsInstructions for Calypso and Reggae strums are included and there is a strum library in the appendixIncludes information on understanding and reading ukulele tablatureThe illustrations and diagrams of how to hold the uke and finger the chords are clear and easily understoodThere are substantially more chords presented than other beginner books, including bar chordsHas an excellent 2 full page chord chart in the appendixAppendix includes basic music theory detailing how chords are formed within each key signatureThe DVD follows track by track the instructions printed in the bookDVD can be put in repeat mode to play particular pieces of music continuously so you can play alongBert Casey's manner on the DVD will put all players at ease, no matter what skill levelAs I've been listing these details, I've been thinking how far superior this book is to any of the others I've tried. If you are interested in learning to play the ukulele or progressing further than other beginner books have taken you, I would highly encourage you to purchase and enjoy this book and DVD. May you (and or anyone for whom you might be buying this book) have many happy years of ukulele playing!

We purchased this for our twelve-year-old grandson as a Christmas present. The book is easy for him to understand, and he has already learned several of the pieces.
