The Rainbow Ukulele Black and White Tunebook
A selection of 18 tunes (some original, some old classics) which introduce the notes in the same order as they appear in Rainbow Ukulele – starting with open strings G, C, E, A – but without the colours! Provides both extra repertoire and practice in reading ordinary black notes.
The Rainbow Ukulele Black and White Tunebook #2
See comments about Tunebook #1 above. A selection of 15 tunes to supplement Rainbow Ukulele Book 2 – again printed without the colours to help the pupil move seamlessly to reading ordinary black notes.
The First Nowell
This traditional Christmas melody (printed in “rainbow colours”) uses all the notes learned in Rainbow Ukulele Book 1 (C-C). Play it as a solo, or with a (simpler) duet part or with easy chords C, F, G7.
