Since then he has taught hundreds of other students to play the ukulele as well and become an ukulele festival organizer. He holds bachelor of music in vocal performance and a master of music in composition, and maintains that the ukulele is the natural choice for self-accompaniment; light, portable, fits in a suitcase, and is a whole lot of fun.\u003c\/p\u003eCOOL THINGS TO DO WITH THIS MUSIC\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlay the solos by themselves. The great thing about campanella-style playing is that even though you're only playing the melody, it sounds as if you're accompanying yourself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet together with a friend. One of you can play the melody, while the other strums or fingerpicks on the chords.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the instrumentals as an introduction before doing vocal renditions by yourself, with a friend or in a larger group.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e2ND EDITION\u003cp\u003eOne might consider this book a second, expanded edition of my first book, The Two-Chord Christmas Songbook, only without the chord diagrams at the top of each page and added companella-style tablature. I have retained chord indications, melody line and lyrics for those interested in alternating strumming and singing with pure instrumental playing. For the most part I have retained the keys from the original edition, except where the melody went below the range of the ukulele, in which case I transposed it upward. I also included a second section, beginning on page 29, that just has the tablature solos in large, easy-to-read print.\u003c\/p\u003eDIFFICULTY\u003cp\u003eThe melodic tablature solos seek to follow the companella style, an almost magical technique made possible by the ukuleles native re-entrant tuning that simulates the effect of playing a harp or set of bells (campanella means 'little bells'). The solos range from very easy to moderate in difficulty. I have endeavored to keep the solos as easy as possible in this style, but melodies that have a wider range do tend to be a little bit more difficult. Keys also effect the difficulty level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eENJOY! \u0026amp; MERRY CHRISTMAS!\u003cbr\u003eM.
