the pick, alternating between the lowest string for each chord (E or A string)

Ukulele
ukulele for young players
by Lorraine Bow
Over the last few years, ukuleles have taken the world by storm. From gigs and concerts to schools and festivals, they have
become a key part of musical life across the country. So why has the ukulele become so popular? And what makes it such
a great instrument for young players? The key is simplicity: ukuleles are very easy to learn, fun to play and give immediate
satisfaction. And don’t forget that they are excellent value for money!
If you are looking to try something fun and different in your classroom, perhaps after having focused on the recorder for
many years, why not try the ukulele? Non-specialists need not worry as no prior musical knowledge is needed to learn or
teach the ukulele. However, to get you started, here are a few practical tips and ideas:
Tuning
Tune ukuleles every day to begin with: if you do this for a week, they should only need a little adjustment before your
lessons. Nowadays ukuleles are usually tuned to G, C, E & A, making the chord of C6, (or Am7). The alternative traditional
English tuning was A, D, F# & B – the D6 chord. Either one is fine, but there’s less music available for the D tuning
these days.
Behaviour tips
• If you have different coloured ukuleles at your school, the children may make a fuss about colour in the first few
lessons. I overcame this by getting children to play each colour ukulele in turn to the rest of the class. I asked them to
tell me what the difference in sound was, and what a ukulele is for. After this exercise, the boys played pink ones with
no hesitation!
• Even as an adult, it is difficult to sit whilst holding an instrument and not play with it. Spend time establishing a ‘rest’
position as well as the correct ‘playing’ position. Rest position could be strings down on the children’s laps, or back
in the boxes, or holding the ukulele out in front of them. Think about which strategy you feel most comfortable with,
and establish that from lesson one.
Singing and playing
One of the great things about the ukulele is that children get to practise singing as well as playing. In my method Ukulele
Basics, we have included the ukulele parts to loads of great songs. While the key of each song has been selected primarily
with ukulele learning and development in mind, many songs sit comfortably within children’s vocal ranges. Many also
feature in the Sing Up Songbank – so you can link your ukulele lessons with school singing.
Ukulele Basics
From how to hold your ukulele, through basic chords and strumming patterns, to playing
accompaniments and simple tunes, this carefully paced method provides a complete
resource for aspiring players. The Ukulele Basics Repertoire collection is designed both
to consolidate and further the techniques presented in Ukulele Basics, introducing new
skills and concepts gradually alongside a variety of new repertoire. Suitable for absolute
beginners aged 6+.
