Ukulele Magic is the perfect tutor for children and for teachers. Rock to ragtime, bluegrass to swing, tango, calypso and the blues - they're all here in instantly accessible songs to play straight away ~ whether solo, with friends, or with the whole class. Fully supported by video tutorials and audio performances and backings.

This is a tutor book that will teach you how to play the ukulele in all its forms - introducing you to more than just strumming three chords. Most ukulele books have a selection of songs with chords. This is fine if that's all you want to do. However, there reaches a stage when you want more than just chords and this book will fill in the gaps and launch you into a series of well structured 'lessons' that introduce you to finger picking, tab and allowing you to improvise in a range of styles. This book does not launch straight into chords as most ukulele books do but gently eases you into playing single notes with advice for dampening the strings - technical advice etc. I like it! -- Christine Wright, Teaching And Learning Adviser, South Gloucestershire Music Service pre-publication review by educational consultant 20120503
