Tools

There are a few tools that should be used as a compliment to this book. A few
are recommended, but some are essential to helping you develop into a solid ukulele
player, and musician.

❏ Metronome
❏ Metronomes come in many shapes and sizes from the older trapezoid
shaped units with the swinging pendulum to the newer electronic
metronomes, to the even more recent innovation of smartphone apps. I
personally prefer the smartphone apps, but try a few apps and see what
you like. If you prefer to have a separate “tool” that lives in your ukulele
case, that’s great as long as you use it!
❏ Tuner
❏ Recordings of the tuning notes for a ukulele can be found online, It’s great
to dedicate the time to learn to tune by ear, but with the technological
advances available today, it’s not always necessary to go through the
frustration of trying to tune by ear as a beginner. Go to your local music
store and ask for a “clip-on tuner,” (I prefer the clip on style) or search your
smartphone’s app store for a free ukulele tuning app. By the time you read
this, this section may be out of date, tuners change all the time. Just visit
your local music store to see what’s new.
❏ Practice Sheet (see Appendix A)
❏ Your practice sheet allows you to track your daily practice, lay out your
lesson plan & goals and set out a clear path as you make your way
through this book. On this sheet you can track the days you practiced and
how long you practiced for, as well as which exercises you’re going to
work on. You can record the song you’re working on, there’s even room
for an instructor to assign listening examples. ​Use the practice sheet, it
will help!
❏ 3 Ring Binder (optional)
❏ I highly recommend getting a 3 ring binder. Nothing fancy, just that
standard kind with the plastic outside just as long as it has a pocket on the
front and back cover, and has the standard 3 rings on the inside. I always
keep my current practice sheet in the front pocket. Additional resources,
and old practice sheets in the back cover pocket and all of the songs I’ve
learned over the years on the 3 rings (in alphabetical order). This way you
can go back and review songs easily and you don’t have to rely entirely on
memory.
