You might not find those Hank Marvin or John Frusciante-inspired Strat tones, but the Fullerton Strat ukulele still sounds rich and pleasing.

The Fullerton Strat ukulele even features a built-in pre-amp, giving you the option to enjoy it unplugged or plugged in to one of the best guitar amps if you so wish. The inspiration for the body shape is obvious, and while the aforementioned novelty value of a Strat-shaped uke may wear off after time, the sound and feel of this concert-voiced ukulele will bring you pleasure for years to come. All novelty value put aside, the Fender Fullerton Stratocaster uke is a good-looking, well-made instrument which will bring a smile to the face of nearly everyone who takes a look or picks one up. The Fullerton Strat is an ideal ukulele for anyone who's a self-diagnosed Fender addict. Novelty of the shape may wear off quickly So long as you don't take yourself too seriously, this is a wonderfully inexpensive way to get started with the ukulele. We love the 'flying V' variant, but they do so many styles in a range of colours that you won't struggle for choice. If a budget-friendly ukulele is more your thing, then the Mahalo Soprano ukulele is the option on this list that represents the ideal mix of value for money and fun. If the ukulele is your main instrument, you should consider spending a little more to get the perfect instrument, however for most players the benefits above this price bracket will be marginal and you probably won't hear or feel them. There are definitely more expensive models out there, but the T1K represents the best sounding ukulele we've tried that's not rare, vintage, or a custom order.

In these arrangements, there are a few exceptions to my attempt to simplify the score, such as Deck the Hall (which repeats to the top).Īs for the second question, this blog is a free resource. In the digital world, a score can simply use as many pages as needed.

I “get” that we need to teach students how to read these markings–but in reality, all of these markings hearken to a pre-digital world where those systems were created to save money, not for ease of use. Adults in ukulele jam sessions get confused by these markings, so I want to make it easy for my students to follow the music, even if there are multiple pages. My goal is for all of the music that my students study to have a similar appearance, and to limit the use of repeat signs, multiple endings, and D.S./D.C./Coda markings. Part of becoming literate with music notation is to see it and work with it. I have nothing against chord charts or tablature, but I do recommend that tablature also include traditional notation (this is the default setting on the music notation program Notion for guitar and ukulele, incidentally). It is important for me, as a music educator, to continue the use of written notation. You can use all of these songs without fear of Copyright infringement. And furthermore, all of these songs are in the Public Domain. Sometimes I like different chords (such as the Em thrown into “Jingle Bells). Sometimes existing keys are too high or too low.

You might wonder why I would make these arrangements when so many other arrangements are available in other forms, as well as why I would put them out on the Internet for free and ask for donations to the cause.Īs for the first question, I like having the ability to create arrangements for my own use or the use of my students, and many times, existing arrangements don’t always fit my needs or the needs of my students.
