Ukulele in the Classroom is a methodical approach to developing music literacy skills in school classrooms and other learning environments. The series of 3 books features over 100 carefully crafted arrangements of traditional music from around the world, works by great classical composers and popular songs, each reinforcing elements of an ever-expanding skill set.

Throughout Book 1 students are singing, picking, and strumming - by ear and by note, in unison and in parts - in the keys of C major and F major. Skills in Book 1 include singing, strumming, picking, note-reading, ear training, improvising, ensemble playing, and more. View the Book 1 Table of Contents (PDF).
