Mostukulele books have a selection of songs with chords. This is fine if that'sall you want to do. However, there reaches a stage when you want more thanjust chords and this book will fill in the gaps and launch you into a seriesof well structured 'lessons' that introduce you to finger picking, tab andallowing you to improvise in a range of styles. This book does not launchstraight into chords as most ukulele books do but gently eases you intoplaying single notes with advice for dampening the strings – technicaladvice etc. I like it!,Ukulele Magic is the book we've been waiting for to help us deliver whole-class ukulele tuition in Lewisham schools. The pace is right, the video clips are extremely helpful, the design is clear and the music is catchy and written in an interesting variety of styles.,I'm very impressed with it, as are the children and teachers I'm working with. It makes a massive difference to have such a rich, well-presented resource as the e-book version, which I use in every lesson. It's been a massive help to have a book targeted at wider opps teaching and has definitely improved my ukulele delivery.,I use it for my small groups. Other teachers in Lewisham use it for wider opps. Everyone I have spoken to about it loves it.

HAL LEONARD Etude Du Rythme Vol1
Book SynopsisEtude du Rythme is an educational tool proposed by Georges Dandelot (1895-1975), a French composer, following the concept that rhythm is the foundation on which melody and harmony are then layered. It was conceived toprogressively teach musicians how to deal with complicated rhythms such as those used by Bartok or Ravel. This volume is the first of five composing a step-by-step method to learn and master rhythm in music. It covers basics andsimple melodies - the second volume introduces more complexity on the same concept, then the third one should help pianists to play different rhythms with each hand. Volumes four and five use complex combinations of rhythms andmelody with binary and tertiary tempos.
