Moon River

Song Lessons • 13m

Here’s a classic that I feel is absolutely timeless. Moon River was made famous by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I learned this tune because my Uncles would play it at family parties, and it was also a tune frequently called at the Jazz Kanikapilas I’d go to. Hope you like this easy version of the Henry Mancini/Johnny Mercer classic!

    Here’s a fun beginner lesson that was adopted into Hawaiian culture through the supergroup, Kapena. Originally performed by George Baker, this was one of the first “country” songs that I really got to liking in my early music development. Hope you like this one!

    Here’s a fun one for the Holiday Season! This is an instrumental version of the timeless classic “Up on the Housetop”. The alternating thumb technique is utilized here. It will help get you started on keeping time for chord melody arrangements.

    Here’s one from 21 Pilots. I first heard this tune when a student wanted to learn it. It’s so cool seeing the Ukulele used in modern music. He actually has quite a few songs on Ukulele! Fun song to play!
