Learning to Play the Ukulele

A new textbook created by A. Yu. Orochko — a teacher with extensive experience working with preschool and primary school children in the ukulele class.
The publication contains both methodological and musical material — exercises, folk melodies, pieces, and popular children's songs. Many pieces are provided with tablature chord notations so that the teacher can accompany students during lessons.
The manual can be used not only by students and teachers of children's art schools, children's music schools, and other institutions of additional education, but also by anyone who wishes to learn to play the ukulele independently.
