Product description

Špalíček písní I pro ukulele is a collection of 47 songs for solo ukulele, selected and arranged for ukulele by Ondřej Šárek. 
The processing of the melodies was created for an easier level of instrumental skill. However, the author has also tried to complement the basic melodies with simple arrangements that can encourage the player to further improve.
The songbook is divided into three parts. The first part contains arrangements of Czech folk songs, the second part spices up the folk songs with jazz harmonies, and the last part is devoted to classical music.
Sheet music and tablature are provided for each song so that the songbook can be also used by self-taught musicians.  Chords are added for music school students so that the ukulele part can be accompanied by another instrument.
Whether you play alone or with someone else, we wish you an enjoyable experience with the ukulele.
