INNOVATIVE – what makes the Ukulele for Children method special?
Ukulele for Children books are written for linear (low-G) tuning but also includes re-entrant (high G notation. Linear tuning expands the melodic range, enables the pitch to move from low to high just like other instruments that kids are already familiar with, introduces note positions on the treble staff that correspond with their physical placement on the instrument in a logical order that makes sense right away and allows for more duet parts. Switching out your 4th string to low-G is highly recommended.
