Joanna's Ukulele Lessons no. 5

This is the fifth in a series of ukulele tutorial videos, created primarily for my lower school students and their families to help them practice at home. In this lesson, practice the F and C chord, learn a new way to play "Canoe Song," and learn "Simple Gifts" and "Kookaburra." For more info on my teaching, please visit http://motleymuse.blogspot.com. Happy playing!

Come back, Joanna! I need you to teach me! You're the only tutorial on YouTube that I actually felt like I could learn from. Please come back!

Thanks, TippinTV! I've been busy having child #2, but I am planning to make more videos soon. I intended these videos for my own students--it's been such a pleasant surprise that they are helping budding ukulele players all over the internet. :-)

Thanks, Theosknight! I KNEW there was a verse about monkeys out there.

Thanks, I'm still working on taking less than a minute to change from C to F! But hoping you'll be doing more videos soon.

Wonderful - these are lovely videos.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,

counting all the monkeys he can see,

Stop kookaburra, stop kookaburra

that's not a monkey, that's me, ha ha ha

[Theosknight]

Well done, thanks for the help
