Ukulele
Four strings, sunny chords, real songs.

Everything a ukulele player practises
4-line tab
Strings A, E, C and G scroll to the play line with a chord card for now and next. Melody+ knows the high G of the re-entrant tuning.
Chords checked by the microphone
Each strum is checked against the chord shape. 14 ukulele chords, from C, Am, F and G to B♭ and the sevenths, each with its diagram and sound.
Island and chuck strums
The island strum, chuck on 2 and 4 and the chuck groove sit beside the down-up patterns. ✕ marks a chuck: strum down and mute the strings with your palm at once.
What chord? on ukulele
Strum any shape and Melody+ names the closest chord in the ukulele library and shows how to play it.
Chord trainer and drills
The chord trainer, one-minute switch and flash chords all work on ukulele, and lessons with new chords start with a short warm-up.
Ukulele tuner
Standard G C E A, low G and baritone, guided string by string. Tap a string to hear its note.

Questions
Which tunings can I use?
The tuner has standard re-entrant tuning (G C E A), low G and baritone (D G B E). The courses and songs are written for standard tuning.
Which songs are there?
Happy Birthday, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, Ode to Joy, Amazing Grace, Oh! Susanna, Silent Night, When the Saints, Jingle Bells and more: 14 tunes, most of them in two levels, plus 8 exercises for chords and strums.
What is a chuck?
A percussive strum: strum down and lay your palm on the strings at once so they stop with a click. Strumming patterns mark it with ✕, and Melody+ plays it as a muted stroke so you hear the groove.
Can I learn guitar and ukulele in the same app?
Yes. Choose your instrument in Learn: each one has its own courses, and the tuner, chord library and strumming patterns follow it.
