Recent years have seen the ukulele soar in popularity, and ukulele clubs have been springing up all over the country, along with an increase in ukulele teaching in schools. Ukuleles are relatively inexpensive to buy, and easy to learn, making them the ideal instrument for beginners.

Faber Music’s new series, the Easy Uke Library provides four fantastic collections of songs all specially arranged for beginner ukulele players. All books include melody line, full lyrics and easy to read chord diagrams.

The first three publications now available on the Faber Music Store include Easy Uke Library: Bare Necessities And Other Favourite Songs For Kids providing a wonderful mix of old favourites like My Grandfather’s Clock with more recent songs such as You’ve Got A Friend In Me. With 15 easy-to-play children’s songs in all, you're sure to find something to fire the imagination of any young player. Easy Uke Library: Over The Rainbow And Other Classic Songs contains 15 easy listening classics including, Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head, What A Wonderful World and Everybody’s Talkin’. Easy Uke Library: Memory And Other Great Songs From The Biggest Musicals features 15 of the biggest numbers from both stage and screen, including Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, Greased Lightnin’ and I Could Have Danced All Night, to name but a few.
