The ukulele is a great instrument on which children can take their first steps in music - and the big advantage is that they can sing along at the same time - which can be a little difficult whilst playing a recorder!

The ukulele looks like a small guitar so it's got "street cred" too! ...and not only does it look like a guitar but the tuning and fingering are very similar which makes the transition to the guitar much easier later on.

But don't get the wrong idea. The uke is not just a toy for kids: In the hands of the accomplished player it is capable of very much more. If you would like to find out more about the uke and its potential for producing great music then we would suggest you visit the website of The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain where you'll find lots of information including video and sound clips. Why not check out their gig list while you're there - they are great fun and the music they play is superb and extremely varied.

Take care - Ukuleles are addictive and should really be accompanied by a Government Health Warning!
