  • Truly excellent book for skill building, but not the first book I would recommend for beginners
Format: Paperback
I teach the ukulele to folks, on an amateur basis, purely for fun. I would highly recommend this book after first going through one of the very basic ukulele books; not as a student's first book. I would also suggest a good basic song book, such as the the Daily Ukulele. As I went through the book, I found myself learning and re-learning quite a lot. And, I have been playing string instruments a long time- about 50 years. Due to arthritis in my very small hands, the guitars, and other instruments, have long been retired. Pros- This book is really terrific for skills building. It has a unique incremental skills-based approach and one progresses through daily tasks and practice. It's set up into 40 weeks, with a short lesson for each day of each week. It is well organized, thoughtful, and quite frankly an amazing amount of fun. Some daily tasks will take less than the suggested 20 minutes of daily practice, while others will take longer to master. If you do the exercises, and are disciplined and diligent, it will improve your playing skills and musical knowledge tremendously. This is true for players who are quite experienced, as well as those that are relatively new to the ukulele. The audio tracks are easy to access, and are just right for giving the student the correct sounds. Cons- This book would, in my opinion, be very difficult for the truly rank beginner. The book does not show how to properly hold the uke, place or use the fretting hand, work the tuners, and much other basic information a student should know about ukuleles. Things like the different sizes of ukes, the parts of the instrument, and the like. As an aside, I never recommend a uke with friction tuners to beginners. For children and adults with very small hands I recommend a soprano size, for most others I recommend starting with a concert size. For someone with very large hands a tenor might be best. Overall- This book is a keeper and I will surely be recommending it to all my students, as part of their learning. Before going through this book, I was teaching folks by giving them a few easy songs and chords to begin with; then progressing into more difficult chords and songs, and adding some finger picking songs. As they could handle it, I would add a few more complicated skills into the mix. I have found most folks who want to learn the ukulele, do not much like scales, or much in the way of music theory, and are happiest when they can just play a song and sing along. The ukulele is a fun, easy to learn instrument, but like any instrument, not easy to master. Ukulele Aerobics provides a different and much needed approach and I applaud Mr. Johnson's efforts in producing such a fine book. ... show more

  • Excellent mix of skills to practice.
Format: Paperback
I’m really happy I bought this book. I’m a beginner ukulele player and started taking classes at the beginning of the summer. I played the clarinet in middle school so I have a basic knowledge of music, but not a real big grasp of music theory. This book has a nice mix of weekly chords, strumming skills, scales, fingerstyle skills and licks & riffs to work on for a suggested 20 minutes a day over a course of 40 weeks. Even though I’ve been taking lessons all summer, the single most helpful “trick” I learned from this book was how to play the scale in Week 1’s lessons. I’ve learned where various notes can be played on the finger board, but have been struggling. My teacher wanted to know what happened that I suddenly “got it.” Putting the notes in ORDER on a scale was my “ah-ha” moment. I’m afraid my uke teacher is getting dumped—at least for a while—this book seems to think more like I do, and I like the mix of skills each week rather than focusing solely on a set of new chords. There was no CD included with the book I bought (purchased in July 2016), but there is audio access through the Hal Leonoard website. You can download the tracks or you can play them on the website. I’m able to play the weekly lessons on my iPad with no problems, but I like the various capabilities the online audio player has from my PC better (I can loop a scale or riff for continuous practice or speed up/slow down the tempo). Each week’s audio accompaniment is than 5 minutes total. The audio isn’t necessary, but it’s nice to have it and try to keep up (which is how I know I’ve perfected the lesson). TAB notation is also included in most of the exercises. My instructor thinks TAB is cheating. I don’t mind it at all, and I know there are some ukulele songbooks out there that are printed with strictly TAB notation, and I’d like to know how to “read” it so I’m glad it’s included (even though I notice I don’t really use it unless I can’t figure out where in the world to put my fingers). So far so good. I haven’t come across anything I simply can’t do. I’m not so great at memorizing chords and I’m slow on chord changes sometimes, but the more exposure I have to chords, the better I’ll get at remembering them and where to put my fingers. Learning to play is something I want to do so I’m happy to spend 20 minutes a day (or longer) working on the exercises the author, Chad Johnson, has put together. ... show more

  • OK For Beginners with Some Self Help
Format: Paperback
If you are truly a beginner, and have never touched a ukulele then this book might be a bit intimidating to start with. That said, there is so much information readily available on the internet that rank beginner questions and answers are easy to find and then to incorporate into this books lessons. It's true, the author doesn't cover the four basic sizes of ukuleles, he doesn't cover re-entrant and linear tuning, and he doesn't tell you how to read tablature or where to find the notes on the sheet music on the ukulele fretboard. But this info is easy, easy, easy to find. Once you understand these basics then Ukulele Aerobics offers a well organized and balanced series of lessons that will definitely make you a better player. But here's an important caveat, learning any musical instrument isn't easy. If all you want to do is strum chords and do sing-alongs then download a songbook for free from one of the zillions of ukulele clubs worldwide. You'll be happy, you'll have fun and you won't be a really good player. But if you want to do it right...learn some music theory, plenty of chords, finger picking and advanced strumming techniques then this book is an excellent gateway into the world of ukulele playing. One final word...take your time! Use the author's timeline as a personal guideline. Go at your own pace. You don't have to do a lesson every day, but if you can develop the discipline and habit, play every day. Go at your own pace because it takes effort to learn something well. Patience and practice are your friends. If you play every day, in 30 days you will be amazed at how good (and knowledgeable) of a player you've become. ... show more
