More about this title

Why we love this

This collection cuts through the endless search for accessible love songs by gathering genuinely singable material across multiple decades and styles. The strum-and-sing format respects beginners while the chord charts and TAB patterns give intermediate players room to add sophistication, making it useful across your ukulele program without requiring separate books.

What to expect

A warm collection that spans from tender ballads to uplifting standards, offering the satisfaction of playing songs you already know and love. The familiar melodies mean you can focus on technique rather than learning new material from scratch.

Who it's for

Beginning ukulele players building confidence with recognizable material, and intermediate players looking for a curated songbook of love songs that don't require complicated fingerings or arrangements. This works equally well for self-directed learners and group settings.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the suggested strum patterns before drilling the full song; locking in the rhythm first prevents fumbling between chord changes during performance.
  • Use the TAB for hook parts as written the first time through, then experiment with your own fingerpicking once you've internalized the melody and harmony.
  • Sing the melody while strumming to build independence between your hands; many beginners watch their fingers instead of maintaining phrasing.

How to use it

Ideal for student recitals or casual performance settings where love songs fit the mood. The mix of contemporary pop (Bruno Mars, Faith Hill) and classics (Etta James, Whitney Houston) allows you to assign material based on each student's taste and technical level.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading chord charts and TAB notation simultaneously
  • Coordinating melody singing with accompaniment strumming
  • Executing suggested strum patterns with consistent tempo
  • Transitioning between chords at varying speeds
  • Interpreting and performing hook parts with proper fingering
