Celebrating Original Ukulele Compositions
First Ukulele Pieces & Ukulele Ensemble
We are super proud and excited to have published a 2nd book of beginner melody pieces, in 2024, this time Ensemble Pieces. This follows on from our 1st book in 2021, First Ukulele Pieces. Both books have pieces donated by ukulele teachers from all over the world!
In 2024 some of the pieces from First Ukulele Pieces were added to ABRSM's Music Medals recommended syllabus.
First Ukulele Pieces provides an exciting collection of finger picking pieces composed by many of the world's top ukulele composers including James Hill, Colin Tribe, Elizabeth Pfeiffer, Daniel Ward, Heidi Swedberg, Arden Fujiwara, Sam Muir and Phil Doleman. All 35 pieces were originally put together in one book as a limited edition. This can now be found as Book One and Book Two or all 35 pieces can be downloaded as a downloadable pdf Videos of the pieces can be found here First Ukulele Pieces Videos - Book One and First Ukulele Pieces Videos - Book Two
Ukulele Ensemble has 16 ensemble melodies that are arranged roughly in order of difficulty. The majority of the songs have 3 parts with chords adding a 4th. It is a mix of original songs and some well known classics such as 'Ode to Joy', 'You are my Sunshine' and Vivaldi's 'Spring'. The book can be purchased as a printed book or as a downloadable PDF.
