How to Tune your Ukulele
Bird
  • You will need to tune your uke each time you play.
  • The strings on your new ukulele need to be stretched before tuning.
  • Place your hand on the bridge and lightly tug on the strings, pulling them away from the face of the ukulele. Do this to each string a few times during the tuning process.
  • Sound each string individually. The string name will appear on the display of your tuner.
  • The most common ukulele tuning is G-C-E-A.
  • When the needle is in the middle and the letter turns GREEN, the string is in tune. WHITE is out of tune.

This Time

“ In 8th grade I met a ballerina from Russia who moved to the USA to dance. After an accident she couldn’t dance anymore and gave up ... on everything. When my dream died I gave up but every time I closed my eyes I saw her face and decided I had to keep running. ”
