Each video offers just enough for understanding right now, with the promise that more is covered in later videos in the course.

How does music work? and why does it sound the way it does?
After spending hours practising the fingerings and rhythms, you still feel like something is ‘missing’ in your performance? What’s worse, you can’t progress to the harder repertoire?
How to make accurate, personal, and musical decisions on fingerings, dynamics, and phrasing?
How to arrange your favorite music on the ukulele? and how to compose your own music?
Music is made of elements, both objective and subjective, to flow through time between dissonance and consonance
These elements can be broken down to their smallest units such as a single pitch, to their larger constructs such as intervals and chords, to even larger unit such as motifs and periods
Understanding how music works directly impacts your playing. If you know how a certain note, motif, or passage fits in its surroundings it will change how you play it musically (example: adding a rit or a vibrato) and technically (example: playing it open or closed and which finger to use)
Knowing how a song is composed allows you to arrange it convincingly for your instrument in any style, setting, or ensemble you choose
Anyone can write a song! just play a melody in key, add the tonic and dominant, strumming pattern, and you’re set. Well, not really!↓
Theory can impact your song writing in an objective manner (form, rhythm, key), and subjective (symbolism in dissonance vs consonance resolutions)
On your own the task seems impossible: textbooks are so dense and complicated, the examples are all for the piano and no one tells you what to listen for.
tutorials on YouTube make it look so easy yet you can’t follow the theory elite ‘jargon’ language. Nor find a path or direction to progress.
Online theory courses seem to be taught by really good and experienced players but not by good teachers: demonstrations are too long and fast paced without enough time to explain the theory, or it gets too complicated very quickly
Private lessons are too expensive and music theory can be irrelative to your instrument and/or focus too much on classical music
Even in the beginning videos, there is something to learn. Just last winter a friend and I were puzzling over why two arrangements of the same Christmas carol were in ¾ time and two others were in 6/8. Question answered in this course.

What a great find! I’ve been looking for a music theory course for ukulele but hadn’t found one till Fretboard Harmony. This course is going to jump my understanding of music and my playing/musicality way ahead of where it would be if I were only taking lessons.”

A course that links music theory with performance practice
Complete theory course for beginner to advanced ukulele players
Covers Harmony level 1 - 3 in most conservatory programs as well as first year bachelor level theory
Unique and ambitious approach of applying western tonal harmony directly on the fretboard
Costs less than 4 private lessons
Taught by a fingerstyle specialist (that’s me!) who for the past 12 years has focused all of his university education (BMus and MMus) on fingerstyle pedagogy and applied theory on student to concert level repertoire
Includes over 100 video lectures, over 6 hours, and growing.
The Basics
Harmony I
Harmony II
Form
The Grid - Fretboard
Moveable shapes
3 modules, imagine if you can take the concepts you’ve learned in Harmony I-II and apply it directly on the ukulele?
Online courses are the best investment a student can make. Ukulele Fingerstyle Basics can easily cover your first 1 to 3 years of private lessons at a cost less than 4 private lessons!
Online courses enhance private lessons! My current course students have a breeze in their lessons when handling difficult repertoire because they already have the technique, music, and fingerings ready to go.
They only need a lesson or two to talk about the ‘higher tier’ stuff. Again, this saves them a lot of money – instead of booking 4-8 lessons per song, they can tackle 2 songs per lesson
Online courses are perfect for adult students: pause, rewind, fast forward, jump through lecture, rewatch, slow down, and watch whenever/wherever you want
You don’t have to commit a weekly slot to a teacher in a busy life schedule. Learn at your own pace and comfort.
