A guide to ukulele Orchestras.

In case you missed Monday’s post, this week I launched a new website, How To Play Ukulele. The site is a companion for Uke Hunt and will have the in depth ukulele knowhow. I’ve written two ebooks so far, How To Play Ukulele Chord Progressions and How To Play Ragtime Ukulele, and you can sign […]
