Description:
Conversational Ukulele is an innovative elementary ukulele method based on John M. Feierabend's Conversational Solfege curriculum. Features include:
- An introduction to tablature (TAB) notation for single-line melodies as well as chord symbols for strumming.
- Thirteen units (aligned with Levels 1 and 2 of Conversational Solfege) that each introduce a new rhythmic or melodic concept, which is then reinforced with short musical patterns and traditional folk songs.
- More than 200 online audio tracks with Guided Practice Activities for students—perfect for at-home assignments or virtual learning.
- A simple three-step process for transferring "ear first" musical understanding to instrumental playing: (1) sing songs/patterns on rhythm or solfege syllables, (2) sing and finger on ukulele, (3) play on ukulele.
- A brief history of the ukulele and an explanation (with pictures) of how to properly hold and play the instrument.
- A Teacher's Manual with dozens of activities (techniques), an overview of the method, instructions for how to use the online audio tracks, and assessment rubrics.
