🎶 Beginner Ukulele Lessons for Kids | C Major Scale, New Chords & the Blues (Pages 16–20)
This video lesson from The Best Beginning Ukulele Book for Kids continues the journey into ukulele playing with new chords, scales, and songs. Students will review single notes (C, D, E, F, G), learn the G chord and D7 chord, and explore musical symbols like rests, ties, and dotted half notes. Songs include Mary Had a Little Lamb, Lightly Row, and When the Saints Go Marchin’ In. The lesson ends with the C Major scale, the first B-flat note, and a fun introduction to playing the blues.
Written by music educator Larry Newman, this method book is designed for children but works equally well for beginners of all ages. With large notes, fun illustrations, and step-by-step videos, students develop confidence while enjoying classic songs.
