There are many ways to play the ukulele. All are valid, particularly if the result is music that is clear, rhythmic and inspired. Holly’s Ukulele Method™ helps you do all of this and much more! The most comprehensive manual for learning and teaching ukulele, Holly developed the playing techniques in Holly’s Ukulele Method™ over ten years of teaching beginners from grade school to grad school.

If you have a fire in your belly to make music, plus make a commitment to practice a minimum of 20 minutes 5-days a week with this book, you will be on the road to becoming a ukulele musician, not simply a ukulele player. This detailed, information-packed guide transforms your ukulele into a tool to teach you the basics of musicianship… skills that can be applied to any other instrument.

Perfect for both private or classroom study, Holly’s Ukulele Method™ is organized as a six-lesson course in reading music to encourage ukulele players to learn more than chords and songs.
