Incase you missed it, just more than a month ago, my new book Ukulele Exercises For Dummies released in various places around the world.

Reviews and Testimonials

Here are just a few of the fantastic reviews and testimonials I’ve received from different readers for Ukulele Exercises For Dummies:

“If you are looking for a book that provides tons of exercise routines for the key facets of ukulele playing, you really should look no further as I don’t think there is much missing from this. Written by a player for players themselves, it’s got a style that works well and is clear to follow.

“Anyone that wants to take their ukulele skill to the next level, should highly consider getting this book.”

“You can tell the authors put lot of time and thought into coming up with these exercises that are very helpful in developing the right way of playing the ukulele. This book is definitely recommend for all levels but the beginners might get a bit intimidated by the content. But do not be afraid, the exercises are easy to learn if you take your time – and the best thing about this is that there are audio files you can download to listen to what you are suppose to be playing/sound like. I also love the size of this book – it is bigger (almost 8x10inches) so it feels like an exercise book that I can open up and read like a music tab book. The table of content is listed in a clear concise way and each chapters are well organized. Anyone that wants to take their ukulele skill to the next level, should highly consider getting this book.”

“This [book] stands out as one I consider essential for every student.”

“I’ve been a uke teacher for 15+ years and have devoured all the books I could get my hands on. This one stands out as one I consider essential for every student. Not only are the exercises perfect for skill building but they are fun! Most students hate drills/scales/exercises, etc but these are fun enough to want to do them and challenging enough to want to spend time working on them. Those are rare and wonderful qualities in books of this kind.”
