Easy Ukulele Christmas Music Vol 1: 30 Classic Christmas Melodies

Christmas is a special time of the year when we are reminded of the birth of Christ. The country is all aglow with the lights and decorations of this joyous season. Families come together to celebrate and the children are rife with energy to partake in all the activities surrounding the Christmas season. There are Christmas pageants and plays, gift-giving events and the wonderful visions of the season. This book is a work spawned as a result of the christmas illustrations dawn by a 7 year old. Her sense of color and her wonderful figures all represent Christmas in such a wonderful way. The book has taken off from those wonderful images and offers a new technique for any one who wants to share music with family and friends in a special way. While the ukulele is traditionally known as a Hawaiian strumming instrument used for accompanying singing or hula dancing, this book does not use the traditional ukulele teaching method for which teaches chords and strumming. This book, instead, teaches the one to pluck melodies on the ukulele. You will be taught how to locate positions on the ukulele grid and become able to play all the great songs of Christmas. It is great learning since we all have a memory of these songs in our minds so, once the technique is learned, the music will flow. There is no need for a piano or a guitar to lead, since you are playing the lead. Rather, other instruments can follow and complement you with backgrounds. Once these tunes are set to memory miracles can happen. The beauty of this technique is that almost anyone from 5 - 95 can learn it. Children have already learned many of these melodies and can hum or sing them. The book is arranged into two volumes wherein the first volume contains the details of playing instruction followed by 15 Classic Christmas Songs. The second volume is a continuation which includes 15 additional songs with a brief review of the playing technique. (30 songs in all). Even if you have never played an instrument before, you will enjoy this journey into music and develop a new way to celebrate the Christmas season.
