Hello ukuladies and gentlemen! I need your help... would you please share this video on your Facebook, Instagram, or email? IN EXCHANGE I’d like to share with you a printable PDF document to help you play this :) PDF Link www.patreon.com/posts/18169839
Hi Ms. B! I shared on Facebook, Twitter and I pinned it to my ukulele folder on Pinterest! I have no idea where my Instagram account went but when I find it I'll be sure to share it there also. Thanks for everything! Grabbing the PDF now :-)
You all probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any help you can offer me.
You are very intuitive and anticipate the thoughts and movements of your students (me) as well as the helpful hints to move hand position in order to best reach the proper string/cords. This has been immensely helpful to me. You are challenging without being overwhelming. And I enjoy your work so very much and appreciate the thoughtfulness and goodness in you as a quality person who clearly loves music and wishes GOOD music to be passed on to others. Thank you. I wanted to add how you encourage to make beautiful music and lovely noise and not just grind out sound. So, so, helpful.
Very clear teaching method and the screen notations were easy for me to follow, Well done. I'm complete new to the ukulele and making music. Therefore I'm struggling around RUclips for best practices and techniques that suit me. This lesson is one of the best I have found. Thank you. Si
Hola Bernadette, thank you for another excellent tutorial. I have had my ukulele for 8 days now and thanks to you, i can already play 3 songs. I love that your tutorials show a beginner like me how to play the songs using basic strumming techniques, but you also suggest more advanced strumming and fingerstyle techniques to work at. I hope that I can catch one of you live streams soon, you are awesome!!!
Ahhh.. Another songs from my childhood. My mom always plays this song on cassette. Thanks for this tutorial. Gonna learn and play it for my mom. She must be surprise I remembered this song.
D to E7. Hold the ring finger on the c string(3rd string). Drop the pinky use pointer on the G sting. Lift up the third finger. We are balancing the ring finger and moving two fingers down and one finger up. Your way three fingers go into the air and move. Good job. Mine way is just different.
Honestly besides your beauty your the best uk. teacher on U-tube very detailed and not intimidating your now my go to uk.teacher thanks again and keep up the good work.
I played it all the way through! Which officially makes this the first full song I've learnt for ukulele! Thank you! Now just to keep on practicing, improving and learning more 💜
Ronnie Ball WHAT!?!? Omg!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 that is a HUGE accompliment!!! I’m so proud of you!!! This is a great first song too, so make sure you never forget which one was your first song. People will ask ;)
There was a time, a year ago (approx) you sang little & said you felt not quite right doing so. I'm glad you got over that idea...& I saw your spanish language duet with your mariachi strumming friend, your singing was just right in that song!
Something that helped me with switching from Am to E7 was that I kept my pointer finger on the first string first fret so the only fingers that have to do anything are my middle and ring
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic It went so well! I was so relieved! All your tips from the 30 Day Challenge and from this song, were so helpful! You're a great teacher! So glad I found you!
Good idea for fretting the D chord using fingers 2-3-4 instead of 1-2-3! On many songs, a "hawaiian" D7 can be subtituted for the D chord. Fingering is 2-0-2-0.
Cada día son mejores tus tutoriales! En cada canción están todos los acordes en la pantalla con la letra e incluso el rasgueo y así es muchísimo más sencillo aprender. Tus vídeos son mis favoritos para seguir mejorando, muchas gracias por el trabajo duro Bernadette!!!!
Andrea!!! Que alegría me da leer tu comentario ❤️ si siento que los tutoriales están mejorando cada vez porque las gente los está viendo. Muchas gracias también por decirme lo que te gusta y te ayuda en los vídeos 😘😘 mil disculpas si mi español escrito no se entiende 😭😭
luv ur teaching method ms.B. very useful for us, newbies. jst got my ukulele few days ago. currently practicing nursery rhymes with my 6 month old baby girl.
riley whynot Riley, you are melting my heart!!! 😭😭😭😭 that is the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard!!!! Glad you liked this tutorial and it’s helping you!!! 😘 give baby a hug from me 🤗
Ahh, Summer time. Love the sound of the Am-E7-Am-E7, sounds like a warm gentle breeze through the trees. That was inspired of Frank, he has an amazing voice. That squeeze technique makes the notes sound like birds jumping from branch to branch in a summertime sunrise. Frank gave me an idea. I don't know if it would be too difficult to edit.......but, How about you ask us all to play the same song and send it to you. You take a line from each song, combine them and make it one song of our collective voices. I think all the different players from around the world, singing in the same song would sound cool. Would that be a mashup? I don't now if this makes sense? Hopefully You know what mean. Maybe for the future, as a celebration, for when your channel reaches a milestone number of followers. A collective "Hallelujah" for your channels success and Our ever improving playing success. Just a sunny thought brought on by playing a Summer Time song. Katie will like this video, they're getting snow! Got to say bye for now, my uku is calling :) Wonderful weekend all.
Thank you! I just started playing the uk a week ago and I'm loving it. This tutorial is so great even I can follow it. I now know how to play and sing my first song, that's not twinkle, twinkle! I just need to learn how to make cleaner sounding chords and to switch them cleaner and faster, but that'll come with practice and when my finger tips stop hurting 😂 Looking forward to looking through your other tutorials. Thanks!
Olivia Gruschow Yay!!!! You are officially a part of the uku fam, Olivia!!! 💛💛💛 which one is your favorite tutorial so far? (That way I can make more like it)
I'm so excited! and I really love all of them but I like when u talked about common mistakes and beginner tips so then I knew what habits I should or shouldn't form, or simple tutorials like this that I can follow along to still and feel like I accomplished something great 😊
You are SMART!!!! Now, if only everyone started there, then many people would avoid TONS of ukulele problems!! I'm so proud of you ;) gold star student 💛💛💛
Thanks, Bernadette! This song sounded very familiar to me and I wasn't sure why. After looking up the lyrics, I realized this is a George Gershwin composure/song. I must have first heard this while watching PBS (back when we only had 4 channels to choose from) back in the late 1970's or early '80's. PS, I really love your teaching style and hope you keep on cranking out all your tutorials and tips. I know it is a lot of work in addition to everything else in life. You have such a great vibe and I'm so glad you've chosen to share your musical knowledge with all of us "out here." :)
Bernadette, Got up this morning and checked my email; something I don't away do. You had posted Summer time. Than you sang the words, and I was hooked; your voice is beautiful. Been working on it off and on today. Dm is a new cord for me, but it is coming along. I really like your advice on finger arrangement. On the pdf. file I printed it and was playing off of it. When I followed along with you on you tube. I got into trouble with the strumming. Dm E7 F have four strokes. I added them to the sheet and will continue. This is my second song that I am learning. Had the Ukulele for a few years and never did a thing with it. Been about five weeks of playing most days; I have learned the D and the awful E that everybody talks about. I have sent your pdf. file out to two of my friends one in Canada and the other in Washington on the main land. Larry
This is a beautiful tutorial! I was doing a different tutorial for this song and it was so hard! Em to B7 ... Ugh! I lost my mind a little bit. But yours is beautiful and lovely and THANK YOU!
Really liked the part when you replicated Frank's strumming pattern. I have to admit I've never seen that in a Ukulele tutorial before. Truly unique, Ms. B
Loved the cover, apologies for not replying sooner, I've been a bit busy while I missed a large chunk of the 20K live stream (congratulations) as it was the same time as the British Fencing finals. You and Frank made me want to use the squeeze technique more in my playing. It's similar to a hammer-on although as your finger is already on the string, the travel distance is significantly smaller.
A very nice and comprehensive tutorial of a great classic American song. Your thorough explanation of finger placement and easy chord transition is very helpful. 19,000 subscribers! Congratulations B.
Ken Munroe hi Ken! It’s nice to hear from you again! We had missed you in the comments section. Thank you for the feedback. Sometimes I’m not sure if I should speed things up 💛💛💛
Bernadette Teaches Music What sets you apart from the other ukulele tutorials is your patience with beginners and early learners. There will always be a day where someone will pick up a ukulele for the first time and timidly try to play. Your site is unique for those folks. Stay unique.
By chance I discovered the PDF of this lesson, saw the easyyyyy chords and grabbed my uke to play the first chords. But the chords did not fit to the music in my head so I came here to watch you playing and singing (what I would have done later anyway)... and here everything is just perfect. So, now I know what was missing for me... THE FIRST NOTE! That would be my suggestion for your PDFs or even for your tutorials.
'Summertime' Perfect rendition of one of the most sublime, classic jazz tunes, I've been wanting to learn. I believe it's time to get back on the uke. Appreciate the timely tutorial in these very viral times :(} What did I do during Covid 19? Well, I finally learned to play 'Summertime'! Thank you for posting, I Shall Subscribe!
Love this song this time of the year! Thank you for the tutorial! Also, i loved the fact that you spoke a bit of spanish in your last video, would you consider doing a spanish song/tutorial? That would be amazing! Have a great weekend!
Hey Mary!! Glad you are feeling this song this time of year ☀️ and I’m also happy you liked the Spanish. I wasn’t sure if people would like it or not, so it’s great to get your feedback. Let me know how you like playing this song ❤️ Yes :) We can add some Spanish songs on this channel. I will try and find a nice Spanish song to record this weekend! Do you have any in mind?
Awesome. Nice and easy play along. I used Kirby's (kirbyscovers on RUclips) pinky mute to silence the open strings on the squeeze, just bringing the lonely little finger across the strings below the chord like the most failed barre of failed barres.
Bernadette Teaches Music It's awesome! finally I don't have to be jealous when I see people playing the uke xD BTW it's a Ortega Ebony series!(RUEB-CC)
helloooooo. I like this, your singing is much better than you believe , I can see you sat in the cotton fields singing away, I don't think I can see the fish jumping in the fields, but you can throw a few up in the air. 🐡🐡 . ps thanks for the fruit and vegetables! C
ken 20 Ken!!! How are you? How are the grandkids? Thank you so much for sending me the photos of your ukulele stands. I really liked how you made them match your ukes!
Bernadette Teaches Music . I think it is amazing must how quickly we have grown. I remember hoping and praying that we would reach the 5000 mark for Christmas, thinking that would make a great present for us. Well we did that and then quadrupled it in the space of three months. When at success rate. I have been visiting a friend in a care home and l always take my ukulele along to play him a couple of songs. One of my old pupils works there and yesterday she asked if l would play for all the inmates. They wheeled them in and l played for them for over an hour. I felt exhausted afterwards. I'll find what they thought if l am invited to do another one. Your singing is really good, mind l always thought it was. Regards to Jose.Ken XXX
ken 20 WOW!!! You gave an hour long concert!?! That’s fantastic!!! I bet the tickets were sold out 😎 You better start learning a new set of songs. I am sure more people will want you to play for them. Yes, I remember wanting to hit 5k before Christmas too. That’s so so so crazy.
Prisca Hebert Prisca! Only truly confident people can compliment others. You, my friend, have got it going on! Thank you for the compliment 💛💛💛 and the comment ☺️
Hi Kevin! The haunting melody might come from my terrible singing!!! Thank you for the compliment. Have a wonderful weekend! Can't wait to visit India... maybe this summer ;) 💛💛💛
I heard this song in a show before in "Investigation Discovery" ,it's a show where they revisited an old crime case back in the 50's. I'm pretty sure this is the song. By the way Ms. B. you got the voice, the potential =) (in the future a little cover here or there) Peace
For a next tutorial, if you haven't done it yet, I want you to show them "MELT WITH YOU" by Modern English ( I'll stop the world & melt with you) it will be perfect for beginners. If you haven't cover or done it yet. Peace =)
This is a great tutorial! I love how the squeezing technique sounds. I haven't quite figured out how to do it yet but your explanation was great, I just need a little more practice 😄 It's so cool that you were inspired by a subscriber's technique! Did he request the song or just suggest the strumming pattern?
Luisa people always tag me in insta videos of themselves playing or send them to my dm. As soon as I heard Frank’s cover, I was inspired. So cool, right?
I liked this tutorial and I was wondering about the strum pattern is the C and D chords also just down strums or is there a special strum like the AM and E7.
Bernadette, I have just recently watching your ukulele instructions and at this point, I can strum fairly well and using your video to learn the fretting/cords. My question is if you have written materials that I can purchase to assist my learning? Curtis Wheeler in Honolulu

We played this song for band in a clarinet choir! Super fun to play.

You're simply FANTASTIC!!! thank you so much for your lesson🥰
I played and sang for the first time last night at an open mic. I chose this song, which I learned from watching this video.
Ahhh!!! Yeah!! I saw the Instagram post. How did it go?!
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic It went so well! I was so relieved! All your tips from the 30 Day Challenge and from this song, were so helpful! You're a great teacher! So glad I found you!

Could you do a tutorial for Jolene?
😱😱😱 that is a FANTASTIC song!!! I’ll start listening to it on repeat now
I second this!!! Listen to the Black Keys version too!
Thank you for sharing Summertime Bernadette! Brings back memories from attending "Porgy and Bess" during college for my Vocal Music Ed degree. 😊

The Dm "freeze, hold it. Hold it" part is so cute 😊
Abby Vdl 😂 I don’t know what the name of the technique is!!! Did it make sense? 💛💛💛
Its something called like Left Mute...? Err i forgot 😂 but i like the bouncy sound effect
hahaha me too!!!
How about tutorial of songs in the 90's? Dawson'ns Creek, The Corrs, The Cranberries 😁
LOVE THAT!!! I think slowly we will have tutorials for the decades ;)
Soooo excited, I finally got something ! 🤸♀️💃 Thank you, thank you !
This was really fun. A big thank you, Bernadette.
Another great tutorial! And that new ukulele has such a rich, mellow sound. Your voice sounds great with this song, too. Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much, Lauren!!!! You are so sweet :)
Yes, this uke has a really nice sound. I’m in love with it :D
Hello, I love you and your videos, please do more video tutorials, you are fantastic teacher, me and my family watching you!☺️💕
like the part with variation of strumming patterns combined n the pumps (left hand mute)
you are a GENIUS!!! I should have called it "PUMPS" AHHH!!! Thank you 💛💛💛
lovely tutorial, you have a wonderful way of teaching. Dont ever stop x
This is just lovely. Squeezing is fabulous never done that before. Thank you for bringing joy to my life.
Thank you. Dejo esto para repasar la canción 11:45
Thank you for making learning fun and so much easier than I ever thought possible!!
Красивая подача. Отличное исполнение прекрасно даете материал, очень нравится. Вы большая молодец, я бы с вами сыграл дуэтом.🎸🎸🎸
有り難うございます😊非常に分かりやすいです😂弾きたかった曲なので感謝です❤
'Summertime' Perfect rendition of one of the most sublime, classic jazz tunes, I've been wanting to learn.
I believe it's time to get back on the uke. Appreciate the timely tutorial in these very viral times :(}
What did I do during Covid 19? Well, I finally learned to play 'Summertime'! Thank you for posting, I Shall Subscribe!
ridiculously excited - this is the first song I can play and sing to! (well, there is some humming still lol)
Love this song this time of the year! Thank you for the tutorial! Also, i loved the fact that you spoke a bit of spanish in your last video, would you consider doing a spanish song/tutorial? That would be amazing! Have a great weekend!
Hey Mary!! Glad you are feeling this song this time of year ☀️ and I’m also happy you liked the Spanish. I wasn’t sure if people would like it or not, so it’s great to get your feedback. Let me know how you like playing this song ❤️
Yes :) We can add some Spanish songs on this channel. I will try and find a nice Spanish song to record this weekend! Do you have any in mind?
Marie M OMG.. You're right.
Please do. Miss Bernadette
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony - No Me Ames
I just love this song beautiful melody.
Here in Indiana, the high temp today will be 46. We aren't feeling very summery here, alas we can dream of it though.
I just like to say, she plays as good and she is to look at.
Love the helpful tips - please can you do a tutorial on any of the songs from The Greatest Showman or How Far I’ll Go? Thanks 💛
Marie S yes yes yes!!!
Thank you for this video Ms B! Loving it and will learn it. Beautiful tune! ~Caleb
This is wonderful. One of my favorite songs to sing! I would love it if you’d create a tutorial for Sade’s “No ordinary love”🙏💕
Genius instruction, as always with Bernie.
I love it!! With the chords on screen like that. Great lesson. ;)
Yay!!! I can't wait for summer! I just got my Ukulele too!
OHHH!!! Which uke did you get?!?! 💛💛💛
I know you don't care for it but I got the Mahalo Rainbow Series MR1 Soprano Uke in light blue
Hey, the one I reviewed wasn’t great, but I’m not closed off to the entire brand 😉 how do you like yours?
It sounds pretty good, but I'll know more once I break it in right?
You are a really good teacher!
oh wow,, one of my fave songs and you teach it in a way I can play it! thank youuuu !!! :)
Awesome. Nice and easy play along. I used Kirby's (kirbyscovers on RUclips) pinky mute to silence the open strings on the squeeze, just bringing the lonely little finger across the strings below the chord like the most failed barre of failed barres.
I also used my DIY felt pick. (thank you again) It gave it a nice even mellow feeling without the click from my fingernails.
Oh, wow. I’ve never heard of this pinky mute. I’ll have to try!!! 😄 glad you liked the tutorial and found it easy! 💛💛💛 that means the world to me!
Markle2k ah! Thank you for updating me on the felt pick!!!! So awesome 😎
Thanks Bernadette! You’re such a great teacher!
Hi Ms.B!!!!!! I finally got my first uke!!!I'm so happy!!!
YAY!!!!! You are officially part of the ukulele family!!! How is it playing?!
Bernadette Teaches Music It's awesome! finally I don't have to be jealous when I see people playing the uke xD BTW it's a Ortega Ebony series!(RUEB-CC)
Also I have a question, do you normally play on the second fret? Cus it just seems easier
Wonderful!!! It's one of my favorite songs.
I just need to practice a lot 'cause I'm a beginner Thank you very much :)
Have a great weekend!!!
This is a great song. Thanks for the tutorial!!!
Thanks that was a fun way to start my day.
Muchas gracias... ¡siempre tan pedagógica!
Thank you so very much. You are the best. Te quiero muchísimo.

Love the new ukulele!!!! Could you please make a tutorial for Youngblood by 5sos? Please!!!! I beg you!!!
Majo L M 😂 you are funny! Thank you for the suggestion!!! 💛💛💛
Fantastic. Another of my favourites. I'll add it to my repertoire. Hey you are very nearly at 20,000 subscribers CONGRATULATIONS. Love you. Ken
ken 20 Ken!!! How are you? How are the grandkids? Thank you so much for sending me the photos of your ukulele stands. I really liked how you made them match your ukes!
ken 20 oh, and thank you for the congratulations! Can you believe how big we’ve gotten?
Bernadette Teaches Music . I think it is amazing must how quickly we have grown. I remember hoping and praying that we would reach the 5000 mark for Christmas, thinking that would make a great present for us. Well we did that and then quadrupled it in the space of three months. When at success rate. I have been visiting a friend in a care home and l always take my ukulele along to play him a couple of songs. One of my old pupils works there and yesterday she asked if l would play for all the inmates. They wheeled them in and l played for them for over an hour. I felt exhausted afterwards. I'll find what they thought if l am invited to do another one. Your singing is really good, mind l always thought it was. Regards to Jose.Ken XXX
ken 20 WOW!!! You gave an hour long concert!?! That’s fantastic!!! I bet the tickets were sold out 😎
You better start learning a new set of songs. I am sure more people will want you to play for them.
Yes, I remember wanting to hit 5k before Christmas too. That’s so so so crazy.

Please Bernadette make a tutorial of Moonlight by grace
Thank you!! So well explained!!!
Good Morning Ms. B :)
I like this song. It has such a haunting melody.
Nice tutorial. Great work with the editing.
Happy weekend :)
Hi Kevin! The haunting melody might come from my terrible singing!!!
Thank you for the compliment. Have a wonderful weekend!
Can't wait to visit India... maybe this summer ;) 💛💛💛
For real wow :O I can't wait to meet you..

Great lesson as always!
Love your tutorials. How about doing a tutorial on Havana By Camila Cabello
Will this work with the Sublime version lyrics?
Да , петь надо , класс !!! Красиво поёте !!!
I heard this song in a show before in "Investigation Discovery" ,it's a show where they revisited an old crime case back in the 50's. I'm pretty sure this is the song. By the way Ms. B. you got the voice, the potential =) (in the future a little cover here or there) Peace
thank you so so so much :D I really appreciate the compliment!
I believe you. Summertime is pretty much everywhere! Super classic song
💛💛💛
For a next tutorial, if you haven't done it yet, I want you to show them "MELT WITH YOU" by Modern English ( I'll stop the world & melt with you) it will be perfect for beginners. If you haven't cover or done it yet. Peace =)
This is a great tutorial! I love how the squeezing technique sounds. I haven't quite figured out how to do it yet but your explanation was great, I just need a little more practice 😄
It's so cool that you were inspired by a subscriber's technique! Did he request the song or just suggest the strumming pattern?
Luisa if you want to send me a video of you trying it, I can give you tips on how to improve it ;)
Luisa people always tag me in insta videos of themselves playing or send them to my dm. As soon as I heard Frank’s cover, I was inspired. So cool, right?
Bernadette Teaches Music Thank you so much! I might do that later or tomorrow if I can't manage on my own ❤️
Bernadette Teaches Music That's really cool! And his cover really sounds fantastic!
Can u review donner ukulele?
Love u
I love this channel!! Those are my favorite chords. Haha
Nieves Huaman thank you, my unicorn!!! 🦄
This channel loves you!! 💛💛💛
Thanks a lot för this great Tutorial:)
I liked this tutorial and I was wondering about the strum pattern is the C and D chords also just down strums or is there a special strum like the AM and E7.
Bernadette, I have just recently watching your ukulele instructions and at this point, I can strum fairly well and using your video to learn the fretting/cords. My question is if you have written materials that I can purchase to assist my learning? Curtis Wheeler in Honolulu
Love the new uke !
Lori Dikena thank you!!! I do too!!! 💛💛💛
