Oh my goodness! It’s been so long since I’ve blogged! I apologize for the absence as I am in the middle of blog redesign. I’m hopeful that we’ll be releasing the new blog redesign at the start of the new year!
With all of that said, I really want to talk ukulele today. I love teaching and playing ukulele. I’ve been teaching ukulele in my classroom for many years. Several years ago, I created a resource based on folk tunes commonly taught in the music room called Sing & Strum. It’s great for introducing chords slowly and systemically. My kids love “singing & strumming” along to classroom favorites. The trouble is – what happens when your older students want and need a song a bit more to their liking while still working through the basics? The answer? Favorite Pop Tunes for Ukulele: C, F, G Edition.
Best Day of My Life by American Authors
This song is primarily C and F featuring a Dm chord. When I teach it, I simply have my students leave the Dm out. My high students will quickly figure out it’s F with one more finger and add it, but for everyone else, we just leave it alone.

Old town road
Id love Old town road?
Hi Traci! I’m not the creator of these videos, but you might try this “clean” version of Old Town Road with your students. My kids weren’t amused we were playing the clean version, but they still got to learn a song they love. https://youtu.be/0hdgX3DwBGM
