Ukulele Primer Book for Beginners with DVD by Bert Casey
Ukulele Primer Book for Beginners with DVD by Bert Casey is I keep going back and forth between 3 and 4 stars. I settled on 4 because the book is doing what I wanted. I am learning the ukulele. The DVD is actually a great addition to the book. It is very helpful, especially since I haven't heard of at least half the songs in the book. That's why I was debating the lower rating. The songs are super old and not engaging to anyone close to my age. I'm 37, just in case you were wondering. The songs are not the types of songs that inspire one to want to play. It becomes tedious to work through. I'm not expecting Lady Gaga, Beyonce, or Adele, but something from this century would be nice, or something with a hawaiian/tropical feel. I'd take Margarita Ville or a 50's song. Anything!!!The songs are:He's Got the Whole WorldPay Me My Money DownWhen The Saints Go Marching InStreets of LaredoTom DooleyWorried Man BluesBanks of OhioJamaica FarewellAmazing GraceSwing Low, Sweet ChariotThe Sloop John B.O Mary Don't You WeepMidnight Special
Ukulele Primer Book for Beginners with DVD by Bert Casey is I give this book an enthusiastic A+.After examining several other beginner ukulele books it was refreshing to find this book which combines the benefits of several, all in one. Ideal for brand new beginners or for others (like me) who have more musical training, the information and instructions in this book can benefit all.I am currently teaching a class of 15 beginning ukulele players and am using the Table of Contents from Bert Casey's Ukulele Primer as the curriculum for my class. All the written instructions can be reinforced with viewing and following along with Bert Casey on the DVD.Some highlights that distinguish Bert Casey's book, DVD and instructional approach are:Strumming instructions concurrent with the melody line and learning the chords for each song15 songs are included, fun to play & sing, starting with "He's Got the Whole World" using only 2 chordsInstructions for Calypso and Reggae strums are included and there is a strum library in the appendixIncludes information on understanding and reading ukulele tablatureThe illustrations and diagrams of how to hold the uke and finger the chords are clear and easily understoodThere are substantially more chords presented than other beginner books, including bar chordsHas an excellent 2 full page chord chart in the appendixAppendix includes basic music theory detailing how chords are formed within each key signatureThe DVD follows track by track the instructions printed in the bookDVD can be put in repeat mode to play particular pieces of music continuously so you can play alongBert Casey's manner on the DVD will put all players at ease, no matter what skill levelAs I've been listing these details, I've been thinking how far superior this book is to any of the others I've tried. If you are interested in learning to play the ukulele or progressing further than other beginner books have taken you, I would highly encourage you to purchase and enjoy this book and DVD. May you (and or anyone for whom you might be buying this book) have many happy years of ukulele playing!
Ukulele Primer Book for Beginners with DVD by Bert Casey is For the absolute beginner or someone wanting review (like me), the DVD is so easy to follow along. Everything is clearly explained. It's really like learning over the Internet, except I can stop and rewind (and i can afford these lessons). I think all beginners should start out with a good teacher. If you are doing that, this is a great book for getting acquainted with your instrument and getting comfortable before the first lesson. These are good songs that work at campfires or just casual meets. I have had so many instructional books over time. I'm really delighted with this one.
Ukulele Primer Book for Beginners with DVD by Bert Casey is I am a complete music novice trying ukulele for the first time and purchased this book based on the reviews. I didn't find this book particularly helpful. It's not encouraging and doesn't make learning the ukulele enjoyable. I almost gave up after a day with this book but instead decided to give "21 ukulele songs in 6 Days" a try. Much better and made learning ukulele FUN!
