Built specifically for soprano, concert, and tenor ukuleles with reentrant tuning, this book includes visual explanations, cheat sheets, and diagrams that simplify essential theory concepts for ukulele players.

Whether you're just starting out or refining your skills, Ukulele Theory Simplified helps you connect the dots between theory and practice in a way that’s tailored to the ukulele — not just adapted from guitar or piano.
