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: Exercises.
Voice / Sa
Singing practice — same Sa drone as the bar on every ukulele page.
Teaching with this room
Each practice page has a Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced card. Assign one track, hear it back, then move. Advanced here means tightness, sevenths, movable barre, reading at tempo, and the pima method on Classical drills — not jazz or Movable shapes.
- Beginner — 4-week plan on Foundations.
- Intermediate — Month 2, sevenths, 12-bar, folk bass-strum; Exercises 10-minute routine.
- Advanced — Month 3, barre I–IV–V, 2-beat changes, start/stop silence.
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: Drills · Exercises · Folk · Break rut (optional, when stale)
Scale and mode labs live on Scales and Modes; compact technique labs stay on Exercises.
