Ukuleles were introduced in the United States in 1915 and since then have become a popular form of musical entertainment. They were predominant in Vaudeville acts as well as in the Jazz Age. They have even found a way to modern music.

Ukulele for sale H: Happy Hulas: Dig out the hula-hoop and have a hula hoop contest. See who can keep their hula hoop going the longest. Can you keep the hoop twirling around your neck? How about your ankles? Try using the hoop as a jump rope. Wear a hula skirt for extra fun! If children are too little to actually hula, place the hoop on the floor and jump in and out, or walk around the hoop.

The standard tuning for soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles is C tuning which means the four strings will be associated with the pitch of G C E A. The 4th string is G, 3rd string is C, the 2nd string is E, the 1st string is A. That is when you strike the open string it sounds those notes. The G is tuned to the G above middle C on the piano, an octave higher than you might think. The baritone ukulele is tuned to D G B E with the sound going from low to high.

There are several video tutorials that can help you get started learning how to play the ukulele. The nice thing about these type of lessons are that you can learn at your own pace, in your own home and on your own schedule. The negative aspect to video tutorials is that there is no live person to whom you can ask questions. However, in the long run, you can learn how to play if you are persistent enough.
