Hal Leonard published Jake Shimabukuro’s “Ukulele for Young Beginners: Easy Lessons for Kids,” designed to inspire and excite kids with their first step into a lifetime of making music. The book can be used by families or in a classroom setting.
Each chapter includes a video lesson by Shimabukuro that’s accessed online, in which he provides age appropriate instruction. The full-color nine-inch by six-inch book includes simple lessons with fretboard photos and fun supplemental activities to reinforce what the kids are learning from the videos. By the end of the book, the kids will be able to sing and strum familiar folk songs, ensuring that their first lessons with music are successful and rewarding. The songs include optional teacher chord frames so an adult can play along with the student.
