The best way to learn new chords is in pairs and the best way to get kids excited about making music is to give them a taste of ‘instant success’ for the work they do. That is the inspiration for this new book of 21 two-chord songs that progressively teaches the young (or the young at heart) 23 chords to add to their grab bag. Uke & Me: Kid Vol. 1 is now available in paperback and kindle formats on Amazon or in a downloadable PDF via Gumroad (best deal). Also available on Teachers Pay Teachers and Sheet Music Plus.
