Beginner books for ukulele and guitar

My tutor books for young beginners, called “Rainbow Guitar” and “Rainbow Ukulele“, use a colour-string system to help young pupils learn the instrument at a gentle pace, while learning to read music confidently and fluently in small, manageable steps.

The books have their own website (see below), where you can find out lots more about Rainbow Guitar and Rainbow Ukulele – and order the books.

Many hundreds of pupils have used these books as a first step in their musical journey!

Pieces from the Rainbow Ukulele books were chosen among the repertoire at every level of the ABRSM Ukulele Music Medals course (published 2024).
