Colin Tribe tells us:
1) I have written a 60 page tutor on the Uniquelele style of playing that I am selling for £15 in either PDF or word format. It contains graded arrangements and exercises as well as five pieces with Study Notes and a section on how I arrange music for the ukulele. You can also purchase a DVD demonstrating the material in the book which is also £15 including p&p.
2) I have put together DVD's demonstrating all my material on YouTube. You can choose any 4 songs from the channel and get a PDF of my “Study Notes" and a 10-15 minute Tutorial on each. Left and Right hand techniques are described and there is also analysis and explanations of the song itself. These are £15 per DVD
3) The Victoria College of Music Ukulele exam material that I have arranged/composed is now published and I have produced study notes and DVD tutorials for all the different grades. These cover pieces, scale and arpeggios and sight reading. A-D grades are all on one DVD and cost £12 each. Grades 1-3 are £15, 4-6 are £15, 7 & 8 £15
4) Lessons are £25 per hour or £15 for half an hour in Newark Nottinghamshire or Via a Skype link.
Comment on Uniquelele from satisfied customers. I started reading/working on the book tonight...So far I am very happy!...I own tons of books about ukulele and yours is outstanding!...The ideas are clear and the examples are illustrative!... Must say the DVD really helps one get through the tricky stuff and makes them less so.
