Take your ukulele playing to the next level with Book 3 Advanced Beginner, the next essential installment in the core Pick Pluck Play! curriculum. Designed for players ready to transition beyond basic chords and simple melodies, this book introduces richer fingerstyle techniques, dynamic arrangements, and engaging musical challenges.
"Anne Ku's background in composition and pedagogy, as well as her thorough understanding of the 'ukulele, shine in these carefully crafted pieces. They are not only musically delightful, but also methodical in their approach to learning this joyful instrument."
— Daniel Ho, Six-time GRAMMY Award Winner
This volume provides structured, step-by-step guidance to help you build confidence, improve finger independence, and expand your musical repertoire. Featuring stunning watercolor illustrations by Hannah Benoit, this book combines clear pedagogy with an enjoyable, artistic learning experience.
What You Will Learn & Explore:
- Foundational Techniques: Build comfort with single-string navigation, fretboard markers, and left-hand slurs (hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, and bends).
- Classic Picking Styles: Expand your rhythmic vocabulary with dedicated studies in Travis picking (Travel with Travis in the Wind) and the rhythmic Alberti bass pattern (Alberti Zucchini).
- Rich Repertoire & Studies: Journey through European-inspired pieces, Andalusian cadences (I Hear Ya, Andaluza), Sicilian dance rhythms (Sense the Sicilienne), and the parallel minor expressions of the C Minor Scale Waltz.
- Special Bonus Material: Conclude your musical journey with an atmospheric arrangement of Erik Satie's harmonically colorful work (Sortie on Satie), alongside a practical Chord Choreography guide and a Comprehensive Ukulele Chord Table for quick reference.
"Pick Pluck Play! fills a much-needed gap in the fingerstyle ukulele repertoire. Anne Ku takes you by the hand—one finger at a time... This series is a welcome addition to any ukulele player’s library."
— Daniel Ward
"These pieces are fun, engaging and musically interesting. Today, there is far more music available for ukulele than ever, but not all of it necessarily good. This music is good! Highly recommended."
— Jeffrey Weinberger
"This is the perfect method book for the adult learner."
— Andrea Gaudette
