Ukulele Songs

kids’ songs and beyond

I picked up a ukulele in March 2020 and have been making songs ever since – mostly based on old poems for children. It’s a really freeing and fun way to do things. (My actual ukulele performance skills are still pretty beginner – so here are some pretty easy to play songs!)
