Colin R Tribe Musician Teacher, arranger, performer, composer, examiner and a self confessed Ukeholic. Whilst developing a syllabus for Self-Accompanied Singing, (which now includes a set of books for Ukulele players), I developed an addiction for the instrument and was able, with VCM, to create an exam for Ukulele players who wanted to develop melodic skills in addition to those of accompanying. This is now published up to Diploma Level by Victoria College of Music www.vcmexams.com and there are now many teachers and students taking the exams in the UK & Ireland and as far away as Malaysia, Toronto, San Francisco and Australia. Comments “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.” “The revised “Uniquelele” book looks great! I think it has everything I need to improve my fingerstyle arrangements” “I must say what a brilliant job Colin Tribe has done with the Ukulele syllabus and how good it is that it can now be examined at every level”. YouTube Over 200 performances of high quality original arrangements www.youtube.com/colinrtribe Which are now available as PDF files on a CD for only £20 “Uniquelele!” This is a 60 page Book and DVD on fingerstyle style playing for £15. It contains graded arrangements and exercises as well as five pieces with Study Notes and a section on how to arrange music for the ukulele. Study Notes For £15 you choose any 4 songs from my Youtube channel and get a PDF of Study Notes with a Video Tutorial. Left and Right hand techniques are described and there is also musical analysis. Lessons In person or via Skype - £30 per hour or £15 for half an hour. They can cover work from the Uniquelele book, the VCM Exam syllabus or any of my arrangements that I have already done on YouTube or indeed any music you would like to see and hear done! VCM Exam Books Book 1 - Grades A-D, Book 2- Grades 1-3, Book 3 Grades 4-6, £15 each, including DVD. The other Grades and Diplomas are in preparation. Workshops I have done workshops at The Cheltenham Uke Festival 2010, for Faber Books and U3A groups and will travel to any Group/Club/Society to play, demonstrate and talk about arranging for the Ukulele.
