Bingo: Ukulele

Bright and playful, this arrangement captures the infectious energy of a familiar sing-along. The ukulele's natural warmth makes the melody instantly recognizable and fun to play.

Beginning ukulele students in early elementary through early intermediate stages will find this within their reach. It works equally well for classroom music programs, ukulele ensembles, or individual student performances.

• Keep the strumming pattern steady and relaxed; the charm of the piece comes from its simplicity and sing-along quality
