21 Easy Ukulele Songs for Christmas is a delightful and well curated selection of 21 songs arranged for the ukulele and collected by Rebecca Bogart and Jenny Peters. Released 9th Nov 2023, it's 155 pages and is available in paperback format.
The ukulele is an accessible instrument and can be an inexpensive choice for starting to learn to play. The authors are experienced teachers and have done a good job putting together this book (and series) to help readers get started quickly and successfully and with a minimum of frustration.
They've chosen 21 holiday songs and have included fret notations and photo tutorials with finger positions, arrangements also include sheet music and links to online video tutorials. The songs are classic Christmas titles like Away in a Manger, Jingle Bells, and Over the River and Through the Wood. Some of them also have embellishments like finger picking accompaniment to the chord tabs.
This book is part of a series of instructional booklets, so readers who are familiar with the other books will find the format here already familiar.
Five stars. Well worth a look. It would make a good choice for public or school library acquisition, gift giving, and personal study.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
