If you are at the beginning of your ukulele teaching journey, we encourage you to download this handbook (normally $35). Maria Winder and Mary Cornish, founding Trustees of the NZUT, compiled this incredible resource and are both happy for it to be shared with kaiako who are new to ukulele teaching.
Foreword by James Hill
This excellent handbook is all about the ukulele. At the same time, it’s not about the ukulele at all. Maria Winder and Mary Cornish have their sights set on something bigger, deeper and more universal: a way to increase student confidence, academic progress, empathy, listening, social skills, and sense of well-being. This handbook is a five-star resource full of practical strategies and time-tested teaching tips. But it’s also about what lies beyond chord diagrams, strumming patterns and standard notation. After all, life is what happens while you’re busy playing ukulele!
James Hill was born in New Zealand and now resides in Canada. He attended the New Zealand Ukulele Festival in 2007 & 2013 and held a fundraising concert in 2017 for the Senior Squad's Hawaii trip in 2018. A world leader in ukulele music education, he is also an international touring and recording artist. He has his own ukulele teaching accreditation programme, now operating in several countries.
