I tell whoever will listen that this is the best place to learn how to play the ukulele before you develop bad habits.
WOOAAHH!! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that :)
I am getting the feeling that certain people many not know what they are doing. There is a picture in the booklet that came with my ukulele where a man is showing you how to hold the ukulele and he is laying his thumb and the bottom of his palm lengthwise across the top of the neck, and bending his fingers arond the neck, which makes no sense to me, because you can't curve your fingers if you want to play on the top string. I am only paying attention to Bernadette for now.
Totally agree
I had been trying to teach myself for a couple of months until I saw someone mention this challenge on another videos comments. I can't believe how much I was doing wrong!
Shes helped me undo bad habits. I started in June and didn’t discover the 30 day until recently. Love Bernadette!!!
Ms.B. you are a wonderful teacher. I noticed how shy you are when it comes to singing. But we all understand that you are a brilliant brilliant uke teacher and not a pop star. So head up and stand proud. God bless you Ms. B.
Ranger One thank you! I will be more bold about my voice in future videos. Promise.
Great teacher! Also is a drop dead gorgeous 😍 woman.
You're a better singer than I will ever be, although, thinking about it, that's not real praise, but I hope you know what I mean.
Here trying to play this song to cope with the anxiety I've been feeling all week. These are very hard and scary times but music has always been my escape and I'm glad we all have you, the best ukulele teacher ever! (: I hope whoever reads this is doing well. Hang in there. 2020's been rough but we got this! (:

To whoever might be confused . The bridge session applies for lyrics “imagine all the people leaving for today” “imagine all the people living life in peace,you” and “imagine all the people sharing all the world,you” and the chorus version is for lyrics “You may say .... will be as one”
Thank you Antonis! I have been so stalled at this part. Your willingness to share with fellow students is admirable! Bless you!
@@2011hib it is great to know that I’m not the only one who was into trouble with it . Cheers 🎸✊
totally agree! I'm desperate for help on this part as well! I'm totally struggling! Can anyone help us with that? Seems odd we have to join Patreon just to get that. And unfortunately, what you mention above still doesn't help me! lol!
Thank you! I was confused !!!
I can do it but at an incredibly slow snail pace, this is probably the longest and challenging song that I'm able to play so far. You are kicking my butt today Ms. B!
EletricalMonkey hey! 👋🏼 yes. Today’s lesson is a big big big challenge. If you see the tips on the printable, your only homework for today is to work on the intro ;)
There are many uke tutorials on the internet but only you are the real teacher.❤
Hi miss B. You are the best ukulele teacher. You make the impossible possible, you make us believe we can do it and we can. Thank you ☺
such a great comment!!!! Thank you for saying what I've been thinking since I started watching Ms B's channel!
I agree! I thought i was crazy for even trying and would be impossible but you are an amazing teacher very clear and passionate and gentle, loving it
Beautiful song, beautiful message, wonderful teacher. Thank you Ms B!
This challenge gives our learning process a
purpose. Thank you for your methodology and smile!
I have been practicing this lesson all day. It has been so much fun! Thank you so much for this challenge - my confidence with playing is really growing with each day
This song takes me back to choir I love it so much! 💗 You have a lovely voice!
This was an exceptional video. The final comments are so important, your comments about getting good tone are sooo true. Thank you for your guidance!!
Gracias Bernadette, another awesome lesson!! I can now play one of the most iconic songs of all time 😊😊🎶🎶❤❤
I think this is my favourite lesson so far! I love Imagine.
Love your teaching style ! So straightforward and easy to follow! You are the best ! So glad I accessed your channel and have referred my family too! Learned so much in just a short while! Thanks Bernadette!!!!
i am absolutely loving this challenge!! I remember wheere I started when i first began your challende and I can’t velieve how far i’ve come. I’ve had no issues playing any of these notes but still working on my switched especially from F to G which is the hardest one for whatever reason. But it’s so rewarding being able to ttake on this song and be able to do it. Thanks so much!!!
I’ve been with you now since September and am redoing some of theses lessons for practice. Thanks for all you do. Never gave up, which is something new for me and I love my uke!
Step by step, building a strong foundation. Way to go Ms. B. The FIRST thing my voice teacher back in college told us was "a singer CANNOT be shy". I know you are somewhat shy by nature, but you have a good instrument in your voice, so please don't be shy with it. (And Always support your tone with Lots of air). See ya tomorrow.
SeanVplayer thank you so much! I will think about this and come up with a plan 🤔
This is AMAZING!! I never would have _imagined_ such steep progress without these printables and videos!
I’ve gone from knowing NOTHING to having such an INCREDIBLE FOUNDATION including the chromatic scale and 14 chords MEMORIZED, and now learning Imagine in just 2 weeks!
You are a UNIQUE gift! 💖 All this from someone as educated and specialized in curriculum AND music as YOU!!!
I can’t wait to get my 2 phone holders from Ukelandia - perfect for reading music and watching tutorials!! One is going to a friend!
You are a very good teacher. I am picking up a lot of your phrases while I try to teach Uke to kids. Thanks 😀
Candace Travis ahaha no way! I’ve picked up phrases from my students and my teacher friends. Pretty soon we will all sound the same 😂
Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful videos! I'm learning uke for the first time ever and it was possible because you're an awesome teacher!!!
THANK YOU for the little in-between tips and tricks on how to transition between tricky chords... I have a “teaching” app that came with my uke, but it seems their motto is “just change chords, it’s no big deal”, and it gets frustrating to keep getting tangled fingers and not be able to keep up. With your tips, I’m catching on much faster, so it’s more fun to practice even if I don’t have it all down yet.
So grateful to have you as my teacher.... The best👏👏👏👏.... And yes you sing too good.... I love your singing too
Thank you so much Bernadette, this is my favourite song of all time. 😘
Thank you! I enjoy looking at your positive smile and patient teaching. 🙂Actually we did the switch from C to G7 in You are my sunshine.
Thanks Ms.B. I was reaching for my pen and paper then realized, of course, I can download the lesson. Those pages are a big help. The little tips in the small boxes, of what to work on each day, are great. Thanks again for the song Ms.B.
ARC 110 hey! Thank you so much for noticing! I always wonder what you guys think of the printables and if they’re a help. 🤗🤗
The 30 day challenge is wonderful...I have been playing uke for several years...but by doing the 30 day challenge I have reviewed the basics and corrected a lot of sloppy habits and have really learned to play so much better. Thank you for this pleasant and positive way to learn. Bernadette you are such a good teacher.
Thank you Miss B! You are seriously the best teacher who understands what students are thinking! Have been doing the 30 day challenge in quarantine and your lessons make each day brighter. Thank you so much for putting so much love and passion into these tutorials and printables -- I feel so lucky to have a world class uke teacher! :)
I love your teaching techniques!❤️
I'm picking up so well. Thank you
I love how you teach!! I’m so happy I found you 🙌🏽
I didn't realise how beautiful this song sounds on a uke. Good choice and lovely singing voice Bernadette ❤
Francie Hubert it truly is beautiful 🤗 glad you like it
Awww... you become my favourite day by day. A very talented and an amazing teacher you are. I am learning ukulele only with your videos. Lots of love❤️
You are a really great teacher, I just started playing and you are helping me a lot. I have a hard time maneuvering my fingers. But I try a little each day. I met 3 women at my line dance class who I play with once a week, we are in our 70’s!
Love these daily challenges, can't wait for day 16 😀
thank you so much i just printed off the printable and i'm so excited to learn this one! one of my fav songs :)
I am improving, very slowly....I am enjoying it! You are an excellent teacher
Bernadette teaches in such a clear and simple way, anyone from 5 to 95 can learn to play. Just straighforward instruction and an understanding of what the student is doing as they are following the lesson.
You are very smart in introduce chalenges exactly when we need. Thank you very much, Learn a lot with you since Brazil!
I just love your singing voice! Beautiful. ❤
This is so fun (and challenging) to play! Def a great challenge for the halfway point!
hey, I found that for the C/Cmaj7/E7 sequence, if we use ring finger for Cmaj7 too, it makes the transition to E7 so much easier
This one was challenging, but I love it. You’re a great teacher!!
This song is so inspiring! I'm happy to learn how to play it with you!
You are awesome! Much love and respect.
Dear Bernadette, you really are the best uke teacher ever. Hallo from Berlin, Germany!
Yes, indeed, very challenging today, esp switching fm F to G. will have to work extra hard on that one, thanks
un grand merci I love that...and its easy with you to learn
cecile godon thank you too!!! Merci 🤗
I was so lost before I found your videos!! Thank you so much for giving me progress! You are truly an amazing teacher and musician :)
Thank you so much, Sam! That’s really so kind of you ❤️
Ugh! I practiced the lesson several times before watching the video and it turns out I was playing C7 instead of CMaj7. So nice to see Ms Bernadette's fingers and hear her playing! Back at it!
oh how awesome a teacher you arre !!!, A thousand thanks miss
........im so saving up for this ukulele im madly in love with it
Ro Draws I’m getting it for my bday in a month!!! 😆😆😆
@@solstudios941 currently holding my new uke and named her Opal XD
what brand is it? I thought Enya but then I noticed the K on the head....
Susan K It is Enya. Not sure why the K is there tho
me too i'm obssesed! it's stunning!
Thank you Ms B., My 30 days are almost up and still on day 15. I do practice everyday and I will complete the challange. When I want to quit; I find myself still playing. So I'll comment again when I finally finish. Thank you so much for make it fun, challenging and your detailed explanations!!!!!
You are wonderful! Thank you 😊
Thank you thank you for your way to teach❤ you make all the music easy to learn!!!❤
Loving it! Struggle so bad with changing from F to G while playing and not dropping Uke! A little clumsy on that part! Practice practice practice! Thanks for amazing tutorials!
I purchased at Uke at the start of lockdown, figured always wanted to learn an instrument and at 50 years young, now seemed like a good time to start. I'm really enjoying the 30 day challenge and thabjs to Bernadette, this us starting to seem achievable. I am trying to over come the mental block of being terrible get chord G to sound nice.... a bit hit and miss, this is also hindered by lack of feeling in the middle finger having damaged tendons when I was a child.... so even though i can't feel the string, this i believe will come with muscle memory (I hope). Just wanted to share this and say Thanks. Loving playing (loosely stated) the Uke' 👍
Love this song!! And this uke!!
Nieves Huaman same here!!! 🤗🤗
I like your channel. Your lessons are very easy and well explained. I'll show you to my students! Have a great 2021.
Thank you so much! Very enjoyable! This tutorial is well done.
You make everything to be so easy!
Ooh I'll finally be able to play one of my favourite songs!
Miss B thank you so much for sharing the knowledge with us.... I always wanted to pay ukelele but felt bit old for traditional lessons. Finally got myself one this week and doing your 30d challenge though in 4days moved already here. You amazing and it’s being great to learn/play along with your videos.
Thanks 😊
Outstanding teacher!
I just love your way saying ready go❤️
Grande Bernuuuu sos la mejoor!😘
Fabricio Olmedo eyyy!!! Donde te escondiste?
Practicing with others also motivates learning, especially if your practice partners are more experienced musicians. They understand mistakes are common in the beginning, and so can reassure you.
Alexis Leona totally agree with this. 🙌🏼
I just discovered these videos and they are so helpful. We are in lockdown in Australia so this 30 day challenge is great. Fortunately I have music background so following Bernadette's wonderful explanations easy. Great teacher! I need to learn how to co-ordinate the strumming and singing, this is my challenge. Hints on how to do this will be welcomed.
Eventually I can play Imagine!! Thank you Bernadette :*
That's such a beautiful uke!
Huge Beatles fan. I like Paul and my wife likes John. No taking sides Mrs. B! We are 1/2 way through. Great job with this series.
Robert Stephens thank you, Robert! 🤗🤗🤗 your jokes and comments are making this series soooo much fun :)
Hi there I'm a beginner and I'm an old lady and l love to sing so I decide to learn ukulele and your wonderful video really benefit my learning ability I just love it, I thought that I'll never able to learn any instrument in my life but that's not true bc I can learn too😃thanks for teaching me dear may God bless all of US🙏🙏❤
Thank you, I am learning so much for you!
After practicing your version, I found "Imagine - John Lennon - Ukulele Play-Along,and I'm practicing that too because it also shows the chords as you play. Sooooooooo fun, if anyone else is interested. All chords we already know.
Yay!! You sound so good!!! Thanks for this one :)
Connor Berry Fingerstyle Ukulele TABS thank you so much 😊 you’re so sweet. It’s nice to have you coming back regularly :)
LOve this tune! after this ill be able to say: I can play! at least a tiny bit! thank you!
thank you so much bernadette
I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS LESSON!!! Great advice to practice while doing other things; build that muscle memory! Btw, my Lanikai tenor should be here by Friday; SO STOKED!!!
This video is amazing! I love how slow you explain everything and ib really like your voice. I wish there was a strum- along version with your singing at the end. My singing is terrible.
You and me both with singing. In my car I’m a pop star. In reality I’m a bullfrog with a sore throat. But your teaching is great, and while I will persevere with the ukulele, I will not sing....for anyone. Thank you very much.
I am still mastering this one, can't wait to move along with the challenge, you are an absolutely superb teacher Mrs. B, I'm loving it👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Andy!!! As long as you’re spending time with your uke every day, there will be progress. If this one is particularly difficult, move on to the next few videos and come back to it in 3 or 4 days. This way you can look at the lesson with a clear mind and fresh eyes
I will, thanks for replying 😃
You are great teacher!!
THIS HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY LOVELY
You were born to teach. You make it so even I understand. I think my 11 year old would like this. He's into guitars, but they are so big for him.
Wow. Thank you so much, that is so kind of you!!
If you buy him a uke he can definitely follow these tutorials and learn with you ❤️
Wow. Thank you so much, that is so kind of you!! If you buy him a uke he can definitely follow these tutorials and learn with you ❤️
There are so many people in this community who are learning with a daughter/son, granddaughter/grandson and it is so adorable. Those kids will grow up with wonderful memories of making music with family ❤️❤️
Greatest uke Teacher Ms. B
This one is a challenge. But I'm loving it. Sometimes when I play a chord one or two strings don't sound clear. A bit wooden. Though if I test them one by one, they're fine. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what my problem could be.
Yep snap!
You are already halfway through. Wow! Keep the videos coming 😉
Abby Vdl so crazy! Let’s see how this next half goes!!!
nice melody....i was thoughed about it...& of course your voice while you play.....really charming
You are so helpful - thank you!!
I bought my Ukulele less than 3 weeks ago and your videos have made so enjoyable the learning progress, so a big thank you Bernadette! I feel quite dumb when I (try to) follow other teacher on CZcams, maybe because I'm too much of a beginner! 😂 Your explanations are crystal clear and I am practicing everyday! ♥
Yay I can’t believe I’m playing this song 15 days in!!! Thank you Bernadette!
I have been working on this for 12 days now and being overwhelmed. I picked up the uke Aug 24, which is 7 weeks ago with no prior experience and I feel like it isn.t going well.
@@2011hib hey just keep working on it- like anything else, it isn’t something anyone figures out in a week or month or even a year. Give yourself time. Slow down and enjoy the process! Every practice is a step forward. I still don’t have it down to where I’d like to be but I keep picking at the melody.
@@kristinedraws Thank you for your encouragement. Three hours ago I was ready to give my ukulele away. I just sat down now and got all the way through the song singing it and playing it, although not perfectly, and I am feeling so much better! Thanks
you have soo many pretty ukuleles!
I like your voice, Bernadette. No need to apologize!! We ALL like your voice. Plus, I just ordered the EUC-MAD blue for my daughter....and will save the M-6 for another time (for me!)
Brigid Finucane wow!!! Let me know when she gets it. She will be so excited!!
Thank you for the compliment 😘
Hi! I’ve been loving doing the 30 day challenge and your an awesome teacher! Is there anyway you could add a clip of the entire song at the end? I’m having troubles with the transitions in lyrics. I tried looking at your other Imagine video but it’s different chords used for it. Thanks! You’ve been a HUGE help :)
agreed! I'm desperate for help on this part as well! I'm totally struggling! Can anyone help us with that? Seems odd we have to join Patreon just to get that.
My favourite 💕 so relaxing 🌹
I'm learning to play ukelele with this course and I'm enjoying it but it's definitely a challenge! For some reason, I have to really think about what I want to do and focus hard to go from Dm to F. It's like a mental block and it's as if my ring finger is stuck on the fret.
I am waiting for my ukulele and i will definetly learn from you, you are amazing
yay i did it i am learning it now so much fun
I just bought my own Ukalele.
I. Definitely accept this 30 day Challenge. Im positive that I can do it.Thank you for you videos.I'l start tomorrow..Godbless
First (not kid song) I learned how to play on my uke, and I learned it from watching this vid!!
Hey Bernadette - just sent a little tip via my daughter to thank you for the wonderful lessons !
Oh!! I received it!! ❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much, I really appreciate that. You’re so sweet and thoughtful :)
The best! Thank you!
