Resources
Free tools we actually use. Pedagogy here is drafted from Berklee, Hal Leonard, and classical method books — always two-source checked. JustinGuitar-style topic lists are a checklist only (never copied).
Audio in this room
- Ukulele notes: recorded nylon-string cuts from
tonejs-instruments
(CC BY 3.0) — there is no dedicated ukulele bank under that licence, so this room uses the
closest nylon voice and pitch-shifts it; a synth covers anything missing. Full credit:
samples/ukulele/CREDITS.md. - Sa / drone / metronome: shared practice bar (same as Singing and Piano).
Theory (shared with piano)
Ukulele methods (check, don’t copy)
- Hal Leonard Ukulele Method Book 1 — open chords, downstrokes, capo
- Berklee ukulele lab practice — right hand locked to a click
- Classical: Carcassi, Sor, Giuliani 120 — IMSLP public-domain methods. The pima method on this site: Classical drills. Daily gym that pairs lab work with those studies: Hands.
Voice / Sa
Singing practice — same Sa drone as the bar on every ukulele page.
Teaching with this room
Follow the book index in the sidebar — same spine on every page. Start on Foundations and add barre, style drills, and reading when those stops on the index say so.
- Foundations → Open chords → Strumming → Play along
- Today for the daily plan · Hands and the style gyms when one skill needs the work
- Theory and reference: Scales, Reading, Movable shapes, Classical drills (pima)
Theory, picking, and the gym
- Theory: Scales · Modes · Movable shapes · Jazz lite · Ear training (Tools) · Improv · Fingerstyle · Reading · Tunings
- Right hand: Island · Fingerpicking · Classical pima
- Practice gym: Today · Hands · Folk · Classical · Loop cells (optional, when stale)
Scale and mode labs live on Scales and Modes; compact technique labs stay on Hands and Notes on the neck.
