By the end of this songbook you will learn how to play 10 of the most popular children songs using the most used chords and strum patterns on the ukulele.
With special thanks to Guitars In The Classroom, the Beginning Ukulele Kids Course Songbook teaches how to play the ukulele in the open C tuning. The open C tuning makes learning and playing the ukulele easy and perfect for kids and the beginner. The open C tuning tunes the strings of the ukulele to G-C-E-G so that you get a C major chord simple by strumming all the open strings. The Open C tuning means even the youngest kid can easily strum the C chord and start playing songs as they develop their technique and coordination. Thanks to the work of Guitars In The Classroom founder Jessica Baron, and Korg Education, the open C tuning has been proven to work on thousands of younger students to make ukulele fun and assessible. The open C tuning also makes playing chords-not only the C, but the other popular chords such as the F and G7-simple, because you only have to add one or two fingers to the fretboard. By knowing these 3 simple chords, the C, F, and G7, you can play hundreds of children's songs.
