Famous Ukulele Songs by Jennifer Quilter
The great thing about the ukulele these days is that a lot of popular songs that we're originally played on this great instrument are being covered on it--you can find uke videos all over the internet for most popular songs today. But for those interested, here is a list of famous ukulele songs that are well known for being played on a uke, and ones that a lot of people will probably be asking you to play once they find out you have the instrument.
Tonight You Belong To Me is probably going to be on every list you find. This song was written by Billy Rose and Lee David in 1926, but that's not how most people know it. It became popular in the movie “The Jerk” where Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters sing along. Since that time there have of course been many covers.
Another older song that keeps getting covered today is Ukulele Lady, originally by Gus Kahn and Richard Whiting in 1925. You can find popular covers by Kermit the Frog, or Better Middler.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow is one of my favorite famous ukulele songs. It was originally done by Harold Arlen and Yip Harbury in 1939, but the version that really made is a uke song is by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole. If you don't think you're familiar with the uke version, you probably heard it in the movie 50 First Dates.
There is no uke played in Jason Mraz's song “I'm Yours”, but people cover this song on the uke constantly, making this a popular uke tune. This is a great example of how a song that's more popular today is helping making the uke a more common instrument.
Hey, Soul Sister by Train is another more current popular option. This is one of the very popular, current famous ukulele songs that gets covered a great deal online and that your friends will probably ask you to play shortly after finding out you have the instrument, so it's worth learning now.
Once you decide to learn to play the ukulele it's pretty easy to get started! You can pick up the pace by learning songs you already know and love, like with Lady Gaga ukulele covers.

Make A Tune On Ukulele!
The ukulele, from Hawaiian is a chordophone classified as a plucked lute; is a subset of the guitar family of instruments, generally with four nylon or gut strings or four courses of strings. The ukulele originated in the 19th century as a Hawaiian interpretation of the small guitar-like instruments taken to Hawaii by Portuguese immigrants and gained great popularity elsewhere in the United States during the early 20th century, and from there spread internationally.
Ukuleles are generally made of wood or composed partially or entirely of plastic. Cheaper ukuleles are generally made from ply or laminate woods, in some cases with a soundboard of an inexpensive but acoustically superior wood such as spruce and other more expensive ukuleles are made of solid hardwoods such as mahogany. Some of the most expensive ukuleles, which may cost thousands of dollars, are made from koa, also known as Acacia koa, a Hawaiian wood.
Typically ukuleles have a figure-eight body shape similar to that of a small acoustic guitar and they are also often seen in non-standard shapes, such as an oval, usually called a "pineapple" ukulele, invented by the Kamaka company, or a boat-paddle shape, and occasionally a square shape, often made out of an old wooden box. These instruments may have just four strings and some strings may be paired in courses giving the instrument a total of eight strings.
Four sizes are common; they are soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. There is also less common sopranino and bass at the extreme ends of the size spectrum. The soprano, often called "standard" in Hawaii, it is the smallest, and the original size ukulele. The concert size was developed in the 1920s as an enhanced soprano which is slightly larger and louder with a deeper tone. Shortly after that the tenor was created, having more volume and deeper bass tone.
Buying a ukulele is not on the same level as buying a car, because there are some practices one should utilize before making a purchase. In this Internet age, the ability to select from a wide a range, as one could imagine, is both a boon and a bane. Here are few purchasing tips:

- Go out and find a ukulele you can test.
- Find some good instrument/music shops that not only carry ukuleles, but a variety of them. Get your hands on one to feel what it is like to play the instrument and learn to differentiate between the different fit and finishes available.

The Ukulele A Great Musical instrument for Small children by Tebo Chicca

There is also better resale value as compared to cheaper ukes, so you could recoup several of your expenditure if your little child quits participating with playing.
Costs past the instrument are low. You generally will undoubtedly need a couple of things as well as the instrument themselves. This includes a tuner, so that you or your youngster can keep the actual ukulele in track. A concert bag or case is wonderful for protecting the actual instrument any time storing or transporting the item. Tuners and also gig baggage can be purchased for around $20 each. You'll need to obtain strings along with replace these regularly. These are also reasonably priced, usually starting from $5 for a load up of strings. Like all things you can start off on the cheaper end of the spectrum, to see if the instrument is indeed for you. If you like it then you can always upgrade later.
Most important of the, ukulele is an easy and fun instrument to learn. Almost all children must be able to pick up a few fundamental chords within the very first session. From there, they'll learn how to play basic strum patterns and overall songs. It becomes an opportunity to effortlessly learn fundamental concepts throughout music. These types of concepts can help your child move forward on the ukulele or some other instrument if he or she choose to swap later.
Ukulele is certainly a superb music instrument for teenagers.

| Smoke on the water for ukulele |
Es sorprendente la capacidad de estímulo y motivación que puede sacar el ukelele en las clases de música, cada vez nos sorprende más que a edades tan tempranas, sean capaces de componer o sacar melodías ellos solitos. La cercanía del instrumento, por su tamaño, su facilidad de uso, y manejabilidad, hacen del ukelele un estupendo instrumento escolar, que potencia la creatividad y la autonomía del aprendizaje, a los hechos de este vídeo me remito.
Larga vida al Rock!

Letra de "Tres Hojitas Madre":
Tres hojitas, madre,

Acordes para Ukelele:
Aquí os dejamos este vídeo partitura, con nuestra primera canción para Ukelele en re menor. El modo menor, suena más melancólico y triste que el modo mayor. En esta partitura tenéis un buen ejemplo. Se trata de una canción tradicional del repertorio infantil de la música española.
Aunque es más antigua, su melodía y los acordes recuerdan a algún tema de la película de "Los Chicos del Coro". También conocida como, "Inés, Inés" por la letra de la canción.
El arreglo para Ukelele, es para melodía y acordes. También se puede tocar con la flauta dulce, aunque tendréis dificultades con el Do#, si utilizáis la flauta dulce alemana, si utilizáis la flauta dulce barroca esta canción será más fácil de interpretar.
