UKELYPTUS - MUSIC IN MINUTES

About the Book

Music In Minutes, is a method book, designed to both learn ukulele as well as teach music through song. It has been developed with even the most novice musician in mind and is suitable for ages 10-110. Our approach to achieving fantastic results is based on many years of experience in composition and performance, along with sound pedagogical and psychological principle.
Fast-track your musical progress. You will be literally playing and singing (plinging) along in just minutes to the accompanying musical tracks as you work your way through the progressively ordered tunes. There are even heaps of songs that exclusively utilise chord shapes (finger positions on the fret board) requiring just one finger! To make things even easier, the first 30 songs are based on a simple repeated chord pattern.
It’s just so simple, but this by no means compromises any musicality. We believe that there is great sophistication in simplicity, and where confusion is eliminated, both understanding and joy are increased.

About the Author

From humble beginning, in March 2010, the Sydney North Ukulele Gang has grown into one of the larger Community Music Groups in and around Sydney. SNUGs was started as a Ukulele Group, but has evolved into a Community Group that plays Ukulele. In March 2012 SNUGs ran its first annual Song writing competitions. With 36 entries, SNUGs went from a group playing other peoples music to a group with their own music to play. The future is always an unknown, but there are three points that you can always be sure about at SNUGs – “Everybody Plays, Everybody Sings and Everybody has Fun”.
