Description
Kids love music and the small size of the ukulele makes it the perfect instrument for children to develop their musical abilities. This highly acclaimed DVD shows kids everything they need to know. From tuning the ukulele in GCEA Ralph then guides the student through 12 carefully prepared lessons. This DVD works even with kids who have never played an instrument before! The first lesson shows the beginner basics and each new lesson will add to the child's developing knowledge and dexterity. The lessons are particularly effective if an older person is learning too, making this a wonderful and inexpensive way for you to combine learning and quality time with your child. Included with the DVD is a 28 page songbook and chord chart. Soon the young student will be able to:
Play many of the 15 songs which are taught including:
He's got the Whole World in his Hands
She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain
When the Saints Go Marching In
Frere Jacques
This Little Light of Mine
Grandfather's Clock and many more!
The child will also learn four chords in the key of C that provide access to hundreds of popular and folk songs.
Strumming and rhythmic abilities will be developed.
They will play in four different keys (C,F,A and G)and play in 4/4 and 3/4 time and understand simple transposing. Along the way Ralph's young students from Wondertree Learning Centre will demonstrate the songs for you the viewer to play along with!
Two Bonus Features are also included on the DVD:
1) For Parents and Educators - help your child get the most from this DVD.
and 2) Meet the kids from Wondertree Learning Centre

 I love it! September 12, 2008
Colby Jordan (Glen Ellyn, IL)
I am soooo not a kid, but this really helped my uke playing. It is fun, easy to follow, and if you are a ukulele novice is a great tool to get started.

We received this DVD in plenty of time before Christmas, within days of ordering. This DVD is fun and very instructional, easy for a child to learn, which is why I got it for myself! I am loving it!

I teach children for a living (in a church) and have learned that fully engaged children learn better. Mr. Shaw here definitely knows that keeping it simple and a little goofy will win the hearts of his audience, and keep them watching and learning. He's like the fifth Wiggle! My son, who is prone to give up easily when challenged, is sticking with the ukulele thanks to this DVD. If you're not doing professional lessons, this is the next-best thing!

my daughter is 7 and she loves this dvd. she got a ukulele for her birthday and wanted to learn to play it. Ralph Shaw is a fun guy to watch and learn from. She has learned to tune her ukulele and play a couple of songs in only a few weeks. This is great for kids.
Excellent learning DVD October 16, 2006

"Ralph Shaw's "The Complete Ukulele Course for Kids" is a great instructional tool. I myself am a music teacher, so I recognize good instruction. I used Ralph's DVD to teach myself ukulele and then I used it to teach my young students in summer camps. By the end of the camp week they had learned 6 songs and several weeks later we are still using the DVD for more advanced songs! Ralph's presentation is cheerful, encouraging and entertaining as he leads us through each new technique and song. I highly recommend it.".....I.Beck
