Hi, I have done the Learn Ukulele in a Day, over about 4 weeks! I love your teaching methods so I have now started your 30 day challenge, anticipating 3 months perhaps! I have never played any instrument or even sung before but I am convinced by friends saying “you can’t buy happiness but you can buy a ukulele”. I am 81 years old with short stubby fingers and hope to become one of your successes. Martin in UK.
I love this post! I'm just starting as well. And your post gave me hope... How are you doing thus far?!
You are so incredible!!! I am a 76 year old widow in remission from metastatic breast cancer to the bones. I recently bought ukulele and discovered you on youtube. I'm thrilled!!!! I love you! Do you have tabs and charts that I can purchase? I pray you do but they won't be too expensive. I'm sorry I don't understand your announcement very well. God bless you. Keep on Uking!!!! Love you!!!
Thanks for all the tutorials Ms.B.....you teach really well ! I think i have finally found the perfect online channel to learn Ukulele :)
Question, does it matter which finger you use to pick on the string when reading tab? Thank you Ms B , trying to get this into my brain!
Ikr I keep thinking this so so good and nice she's the freaking best teacher
I'm starting to improve my uke. I'm just struggling with some chords. Thanks. Ms B
Hi Bernadette... First off, you are an amazing teacher! I live in a small apartment building in a small town & the building happens to be for the elderly & disabled. We have somebody living here that plays ukulele & mandolin in her family band. She decided that anybody who wanted to should get together every other week & learn to play ukulele & that's what we've been doing! Your teaching has helped so much... The way you explain things just makes it understandable!!! Thank you so much!!!! - Amanda & Sherry
Loving this challenge so far. I usually try to jump ahead in my learning but this is forcing me to go back to the basics and have a good foundation!!! Feeling legit practicing scale 😎
Hi Valentina! 👋 "Feeling legit practicing scale" 😂 -love that!
This challenge is also forcing me to think about all the pieces that are required for someone to learn the ukulele and how to put them in the right order. So happy you're enjoying this challenge 💕
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I can tell you have put a lot of thought into it. Thank you for all you do. I'm still teaching my almost 4 year old but now that she sees me doing my daily practice she asks to play on her own. She was trying to chuck today 👍
You're a great teacher! I'm up to day 4 of the 30 day challenge and I'm loving it. Thanks for helping a senior develop his musical skills.
Okay, I understand that I am very late, about three years late compared to the other comments, but I am truly enjoying your video and my tenor ukulele, much more than I have done before your lessons. Thank you for your carefully taught and therefore very useful lessons.
Thank you for doing this series Bernadette, I'm really enjoying it.
Thaaaaanks! This is going so far so cool! you are the best teacher ever!
Marialejandra Araujo thank you so much 🤗🤗 that is great to hear!! Soon we will start chords and strumming ;)
aw you're amazing! thank you. I'm 50 this year and it's a bit of a life turn around... out with the old and in with new adventures in many aspects.. moved house new business to say the least and learning to play the uke and following your programme is the perfect antidote and 'me time' in the midst of the busy'ness. thank you again I'm loving the course and you're an excellent tutor🎸🙏
Are you really good with the ukulele now
You are ana amazing teacher. I have learnt so much in the past four days and I'm so excited for the upcoming videos 💞💞
Wow so much to learn. Thank you Bernadette so much for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Jim
Jim Nash hi Jim! 👋🏼
I’m so so so happy that you are learning through this series. It’s such an honor
Thanks Ms.B, got the download in my phone. Yes, I shall practice, practice, practice. Need to get comfortable with play up at 7-10 and higher on the neck.
Your phrase in the previous printout. "keep your gaze forward", is great. Has a ring of a universally positive life statement that can apply to more than just the uku. The uku zone pictures are inspiring, such a creative community. Happy days as you pack things away. Very Zen place you have now. Thanks for doing all you're doing while you're doing what you do😎🙌🎷🎸☕🍰🙏
YES!!! I am loving the photos of the uke zones!!!!! They are so encouraging!!!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment ❤️ I hadn't thought about the "gaze" part like that, but I love it. It's a great motto I shall reuse in future printouts.
I'm glad you got this corrected. TAB can be weird, and some teachers hate it for some inexplicable reason.
I'm presuming that you will eventually get around to showing chords on TAB and melodies once you have covered note lengths.
maybe teachers dislike it because it's a shortcut to reading traditional music notation. While I believe that people should try to read music notation, I think it's not accessible for all. I love that tab is accessible and easy. That's why I re-uploaded this one. It's a foundational lesson that needs to be correct!
It may also be helpful for your students to know, (once they have absorbed this latest info), that it can be very handy to buy "bass guitar tablature" manuscript paper. For those occasions when they come across a song that doesn't come with a chart. I also bought myself a stamp to allow me to chart out the chords for myself. I have found this to be extremely helpful so I can add the chords I don't know to a chart, (chords I don't come across as often, so I need a little reminder of how it's played). Great tutorial as always Ms. B. , I look forward to tomorrow's lesson. Thank you.
I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!! I can make some tab paper and add it to the printable!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Fantastic teaching madam. I am 73 and just had a ukulele bought me for a Christmas present and enjoying it very much.
Thank U. I am practicing the chords since last 3 days. Getting better slowly. Thank U B. U rock. I love how you made it so simple. 🙏🏻
Wow I have seen TAB written and never knew what it meant. Thank you, another mystery explained!!
Oh wow! Yes, you're right! That's what that means :)
I wish I would have said that in the video
Awesome revision Ms. B. Bless you for your passion on this 30 day challenge. And for a change is here a ❤ fom me today for all the love and passion you put in to us your comunity.
Ahh, thank you so much! My apologies for the mistake on the first one. It’s teaching me to be a lot more careful about what I put out there!!
Happy Trails Miss B ~~ i'm running thru @ again & picking uptips & tricks i didnt hear when i was a newbie-newie beginner. To all people visiting this class, Bernadette Teaches Music is the BEST! @
I'm doing this 30 day uke challenge! And I'm enjoying it so far. I got to know a lot of information about how to play uke. Thank you so much! 😊😊💖
You are the BEST teacher! I have watched so many videos, and even had a group lesson, but am older (60) and have never played an instrument before, hence the others were too fast, or didn't explain enough, but I am going to finish the 30 day challenge! Totally committed. I can tell you have a degree in education! Thank you so very much.
This series is so well made! I'm starting to teach my 4-year-old to play the uke, and your series is so useful.
Thank you so much, David!
Wait, a 4-year old? All the 4 year olds I’ve met when you give them a ukulele, they call it a guitar and put their hand over the fretboard and and strum the strings like they’re playing a song, and it creates an awful sound and sounds like the strings are about to break.
I plan to use this with my students. Thanks for a great tutorial.
Candace Travis hi Candace!! Please give me feedback on how to make these videos better for your students! Also make sure and grab the free printable that goes along with these videos. You can give them to your students or project them on a smartboard
Becouse of the lockdown, I have so much time that I litterally get to here with practising(and the day isnt even ended...). Thank you so much for this lessons!🎸🎸😀😄
Hi Bernadette, I took some lessons recently, but am using your 30 day challenge as a review. I have a piano background and really struggled to get my head around tablature, but your videos are so good and they are really helping. I love my ukulele and play it every day! Thanks so much! Kat in Canada
You are such a good teacher Bernadette. Thank you so much for putting in so much time and effort to give so much pleasure to so many of us. Sue, UK x
Thank you so much for the 30 day challenge i had started to learn on you tube and internet with websites but then got disappointed because I didn’t know in what order to do next or what to do in order to learn but this is putting it all in the right order that I don’t feel frustrated and inept, thank you so much you’re the best teacher 🎵🎵🎵🎶💖
a quick tip i found helpful was getting a smaller notebook and drawing pictures and bacicly taking notes(just personaly helps me!)
It feels so good every time I finish a video from this series :) Been doing it for 4 days. Hope to finish all 30!
Thanks for this lesson. I’ve taken some uku lessons and my teachers never showed me this. I love you channel.
hey mrs .b just saying i had to dis 2 times..... but you tried hard and loved it actually fun doing it all over again
Ur the best teach everr. I learned so much
I have finished day one , two , three and today I start my day four
Thanks teacher
Thank you, Bernadette even I can keep up & follow this.
Thank you, Arthur! I'm happy to hear that! If something is ever too challenging, let me know~!
i just started learning the uke as a challenge for myself as i've decided to cut social media out my life. (FB insta snapchat twitter) and these videos have been so good to start learning with! thank you
Hi Elissa,
It sounds like you're on a very healthy journey. I think this is a very positive challenge to take on ☺️ I think I'll have to follow your example and take a social media cleanse after this challenge is over
it's been 4 days so far (so pretty much the same about of time you've been completing your challenge) it feels so good having no social media and learning a new skill, so a big thanks to you! x
thank you too for inspiring me :)
This is so fun! Bernadette is the best!
Regina, I’m so glad to hear you’re having fun! ❤️ please continue sharing your progress through the ukulele journey
Bb is really difficult, definitely need to practice that!
Excellent revision! Great work and video. Thanks for sharing this gem!
Thank you Bill 😊
Had to consider the longevity of this series and wanted to correct that mistake.
I'm going to go double-check the one for tomorrow!
I always wish you good luck Bernie, you are a teacher and you know that error free documents are extremely rare; all we can do is try, try, try and hope the proof reader catches what we miss!
Thank you so much 😭
I am doing quite well learning. You are an amazing teacher. I am having a struggle with bar cords but am sure it will come in time.
You are an amazing teacher Bernadette, thank you so much for doing this, I am learning really quickly.👍🏻
Yes! I did my 4th day! Thanks. Hugs from Colombia
Great explanation of the chord chart. I am enjoying this challenge so far.
Thank you, Dan! So nice to have you here!!!
It's so great to be here!
This is prefect as my daughter is starting to learn how to fingerstyle. Very very helpful! 👍🎶
Abby Vdl I was so impressed that she was trying already!!! What a bold little girl!
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I was really surprised because i was on my phone then suddenly i heard her. You are really inspiring her and Me! ❤️
I had to show Jose!!! He was so moved by her uke zone too!!!! 💕
We were just talking about minimalism last week. The other day i started sorting out stuff too then i found some led lights so i let her use them on her tent :)
Hi Bernadette! I’m a new subscriber and I wanted to thank you for all your videos and the hard work you’ve put on them. I got my very first uke yesterday, and you are a great inspiration!
I'll finally be able to learn this! Thank you so much!
Selma, it makes me so happy this is something you want to learn! 🤗🤗
I think I like the TAB... thank you for explaining!!
Gracias por los tutoriales!👏👏🎶🎵
Thank you so much for this video!! It was so helpful:)
Happy Birthday with tabs. Eureka, I get it. Thanks.

Thanks, appreciating the breakdown for how to read tab and chord charts.
Bars are scaring me a little.

Oh sweet!
Try this resource docs.google.com/presentation/d/19SRHUKalG8Gcks2eZeogGhSQ-99Rc3UJPrHL2u-X9bA/edit#slide=id.p it was made specifically for these videos
Following the 30 day challenge!
On day 4 with this video, I already learned a song in no time 😨... But it was twinkle little star... haha😂 but hey it’s pretty cool whats she’s teaching, thanks again and you just got a subscriber :D
Oops, I thought this was going to be a theory class as in non-Uke. brb Ok, that’s better. Wow this is a lot more work for the fingers than piano. 🤗😷
Awesome!!!! Realized I don’t really press my thumb strong enough in the back...Like when you were demonstrating the F Chord....When i did, the chord sounded Much Better😂😂😂. And, Awesome Lesson re: TABULATURE!!!!!!!!!! I got it!!!!! Though, will review that part too (over and over again). Thanks “Coach”😘😘😘
Hey Geralyn! That's great news!!! So happy that you found a solution to make a better sound on your instrument!!! 👏
We will learn more tab stuff here on this challenge!
Bernadette Teaches Music: Oh that’s Awesome “Coach”!!! Want to master tabulature, I know if we do, it will really be HELPFUL✅😃 Thanks “Coach”!!!!! Really appreciate this Ukulele Curriculum you put together😘😘😘 Great Job!
thank you so much! 😘
This video is sooo helpful. Thank you a lot!
Barred chords! That's nuts!
Feeling like a pro 🌞🤠😎
Thank you for helping me play ukulele
I love thisssss, thank you!!!
Thank you, Gabi!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Loved it ! ♥️
Helped a lot !🌸
God day po.ia learn a lot From you.thank You Po..
God Bless Us..
Thank you soo much. It was really helpful! ♥️
You are such a clear teacher, and make it fun as well. The only thing I don't get is where to find the printable. Can anyone EXPLAIN?
This was nice and clear.
Thank you, Ronnie! :)
It was so nice to see your update on yesterday's lesson 🤗
Thanks for this video......
Thank you for the comment! Comments help this channel grow ❤️
You do such a great job of slowly explaining things with hints and tips.
The A-E-C-G thing is weird to me though. It looks just like a fret board and you would think it would be labeled as such for consistency. Do you have an explanation for that?
Otherwise, as always terrific video.
Oh so far so good. I feel my progress But surly there will be bumps in the road later I bet.
Very good lesson. Thanks.
So, translate: gatíssima! 🙂
That b flat chord had my hand screaming haha
So I pick A 2 2 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 and I have a part of your outro wuhuuu :D (practicing in my break) hihi
😂 that's so cute
Thank you. Very clear.
This a fun challenge
Thank you, Manuel! Happy to hear that! 💕
day 4 all done
Aloha Bernadette!
Whenever I want to play anything in the first fret my fingers hurt soooo much😓 I’m a beginner soo idk if this is something I’m gonna have to get used to
B chords are so hard for me to do. With those flat fingers. 🙁 So whenever there are songs with them, I skip them all. 😅
Reviewing the lessons now but strangely I always found it quite natural that A string was top on the tab, it’s like you’ve laid your ukelele in front of you
Hi I have to admit I think I am starting enjoy trying to get my short fingers to work like they should lol but I do find I am struggling slightly with being a lift handed player
Wow. This one is hard!
Thank you
Either you're very SMOL or you're using a tenor ukulele, which one is right?
I’m smol and this is a tenor 😂😂
Thank you!
How often are tabulatures used? I’ve mostly seen lyrics with the chord note above and ocassionally the sheet music.
Tablature is quite common for learning songs where you are playing melodies (individual notes) on the instrument, or where the melody is suggested by the choice of how the chord is constructed.
Now while Bernie probably isn't going to go into this in the first 30 day course, I'll try to give you a hint as to what is to come.
For an example: while the C _chord_ is typically played on the uke with the C _note_ on top, the third fret of the A string 0-0-0-3(GCEC), it isn't always the best way to do it for a particular song.
For example: it could be played with the G chord form (the triangle), but 5 frets up: 0-7-8-7 (GGCE) or 5-7-8-7(CGCE), or even 9-7-8-7(EGCE). Since the top note of the chord tends to suggest the melody, it could reinforce a melody sung over it that emphasizes that E note.
Skipping ahead on the lessons, a major chord has three main notes: For a C major chord: the first, or root (C), the *third* (E), and the fifth (G).
A C minor chord is C, E-flat, and G. The E-flat makes it a minor chord.
The *third* creates the "color" that makes the chord sound "happy" (major), or "sad" (minor)
Hi Amanda! We will go into tabs a little later but you can see how it pays off to read it with songs like this ukulelehunt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/HappyBirthday.pdf
For some reason the first few times I tried to play f chord I had trouble. Then I re watched the part of f chord and it was better
Actually, another comment.
B flat is hard.
I check my fingerings
My fingers are great, like my pointer finger is flat
But the when I strum is wrongs
Are you squeezing the strings when you are playing it?
Thanks!
This one was easier than day 3!
🥳🥳🥳 that is awesome!!! You’ll see that throughout my challenges. Sometimes I’ll go a little high on the difficulty level and ease up the following days :)
Helpful I'm learning Aura Lee Have you done a tutorial on that?
JodyM2 nope but I can!!! 😃
Good job it was very clear to me what you were saying Teacher Bernadette!!!)) The Ukulele is easer than any other instrument I have played to fined a Melody on and I am not sure why! Is it easy for you to find a Melody on? 😊😊😊
Steve Harris it’s so funny you ask. For me it’s easier to find a melody on saxophone!!
Bernadette Teaches Music 😊😊😊
Awesome! Thank u so much!
Merci Miss ;)
Thank you too!!! 💛
uugg.. Bb Em & C3m = twist my short fingers into contortions... I been working those chords 3 mon & they are STILL a challenge...
I think I have a cheap uke. My b flat doesn’t sound like yours as all. And my daughter’s tuned it for me already. My C sharp minor sounds fine haha
