Dance on Open Strings – the first piece in Book 1
Each piece can be approached as an instrumental solo (melody only) or a duet as the chord names provide harmony for a second player to strum or fingerpick or both.
The book opens with the first piece, Dance on Open Strings. Look how easy it’s to play the melody — one hand only! Four open strings.
🎶 Exciting News! 🎶
I’m thrilled to announce Pick Pluck Play! — a brand-new curriculum for fingerstyle ukulele that I’ve developed to help beginners build confidence and musicality step by step.
🎵 Book 1 starts from the very beginning — open strings and simple one-hand fingerpicking — and progresses through 12 original pieces designed for solo, duet, or ensemble playing.
Perfect for absolute beginners who want to learn how to read tablature, understand rhythm, and develop beautiful tone.
📘 Release Date: Wednesday, October 15, 2025
📍Available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk

Your reviews matter!
Reviews help others discover more about the book and decide if it’s right for them. Since Amazon doesn’t allow authors to choose which pages appear in the sample preview before publication, your feedback becomes even more valuable — especially as this is my first time publishing on Amazon.
To ensure your review truly reflects the book, here are a few helpful guidelines:
Who can write a review on Amazon?
Anyone who has purchased the book (not from a Gift Card) and has an Amazon account with a history of purchases (and a minimum of $50 spent in the calendar year) can leave a review. Click here for more information.
