- This is my baritone ukulele jazz tutorial for Dream A Little Dream Of Me (part 1 of 2)!
I get asked to do this tutorial all the time, so I thought I would finally start sharing how to play this song! I’m teaching it in my key (which is Db) for my instrument (which is baritone ukulele). Hopefully this can be a helpful starting place for folks wanting to learn this song!

Are you getting started with your baritone ukulele? Here are some products that I find super helpful! (FYI, I get a small commission at no cost to you if you decide to buy through one of these links!)
-Snark tuner: amzn.to/3oB1MHl
I wouldn’t buy one that says it’s for ukulele because we want one that has a guitar setting, since that’s what our tuning matches.
-Walker & Williams straps: amzn.to/3cpkjDW or amzn.to/3pAt4yL
These aren’t the exact same as my strap because they make them in limited qualities, but I LOVE my strap and would highly recommend W&W!
-Hercules ukulele stand, perfect for baritone: amzn.to/3t7DiZH
Traditional floor stands often have trouble fitting a baritone, while this one fits any size instrument.
-D’Addario strings: amzn.to/2MbBr5x
These are what I use because they were what the local shop had in! I’m not a string nerd, but I definitely like these!
-Baritone case: amzn.to/36qOsz2
This is the case I use. While I ADORE the more vintage-looking, hard cases, I’ve found that they just don’t have the same storage as this one. I use the pocket and inside compartment to carry cables, tuners, extra strings, batteries etc.
-Hard baritone case: amzn.to/3tll4nJ
Now, if you don’t need the pocket, is there anything in the world more handsome than this case?! I don’t own one myself but if I needed a case for the aesthetic over the storage, I would buy this one.
-Baritone fly case: amzn.to/3csORVl
Again, I do not own this, but fiberglass cases are great for if you need to fly with your instrument. Plan A should always be to keep your instrument with you, but if you are absolutely unable, this is the type of case many musicians use.
-Fishman amp: amzn.to/3tfAN7J
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used this amp. It’s perfect for solo performances where I’m playing and singing. I’ve only ever had 1 gig where it wasn’t sufficient, and that was outdoors and there was a waterfall between me and the audience. This is an incredible investment for solo performers, but I’ve also used it in many a small group setting.
-Music stand: amzn.to/3pCLeQf
This is the stand I use, and to be completely honest there are things that annoy me about it. But here’s what’s priceless: the easy grip extender thing--I just squeeze and it moves freely. ALSO I will never go back to using a stand that doesn’t have the little metal clips to keep your music in place. Whether you’re playing outdoors or playing indoors with a strong fan, you’re going to regret buying a stand that doesn’t have the metal clips at some point!
-Cheaper music stand: amzn.to/36qdnCv
I don’t own this stand, but if you’re looking for a cheaper option, this may be a good place to start! With music stands, you always have to be careful about the weight you put on them. Try not to put large, heavy books on if possible. - Hudba
Have you tried out this tutorial yet? Let me know how it's going for you!
Never mind the ukulele, this lady has such a lovely tone to her voice. Would love to hear you sing the song all the way through Abigail.
Not only is Abigail's voice beautiful, but so is her personality! I had the honor of meeting her and talking with her for a solid hour with some other girls and she was soooooo kind! She is truly inspiring! She is totally awesome!
You are soooo sweet! Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Beautiful voice when singing that song
Thank you so much!
a little to advanced for me but will continue to try, thanks for sharing.
I thank you much for sharing your knowledge of this classic, Abigail.
All the best.
Thank you so much for watching!! I’m so glad you enjoyed.
Hello Abigail, this is wonderful and very helpful! Thank you so much for the first part of your Tutorial. Can not wait for the second Part. Aloha and have a nice Week! 🌻
Really enjoyable and informative. I’ve played it in C on guitar and concert ukulele with much simpler chords, this version is a bit of a revelation after being stuck in that version for so long, it’s so jazzy!
You are a great educator!
Aw man, life's so beautiful
BEAUTIFUL voice
Abigail, where do I get the music for what you are demonstrating in this video? Wonderful!
Love your videos, especially the beginners one, are you able to put the fingering up for the baritone?
I’m your 1000. subscriber hehe!! Keep it up
THANK YOU!! I was gonna be refreshing my page all day because sometimes it doesn’t send me subscriber notifications and I didn’t want to miss it. Now I don’t have to 😊 thank you so much!!
That’s a huge milestone, which takes the account from hard to monetize to easily monetizable. I hope to reach it this year!!
RAINBOW STAR Music yes I’m so happy! Except... apparently I need to quadruple my watch hours to monetize? I thought it was just 1000 subs but totally missed the other reqs hah! So that’s the next goal! Best to you with your channel!
what a beautiful voice!!!!!
Abigail - this is a nice key to play/sing this tune in. However, a couple of random questions! First - I'm intrigued by how you (and others) get such a nice tone by strumming. I'm finding I need to use a very thin pick! Do you have any tutorials on this very basic of skills or have any pointers, please? And second, what strings do you use?
You had me at d flat 6
Matthew 😂 one of my favorite chords.... thanks for watching!
Abigail Flowers WAIT...I just noticed we have the same last name ! Wuuuut
Matthew oooh perhaps we are long lost cousins! Though I married into the name. But I’m super stoked I lucked into such a cool last name haha!
Is that uke the maple flame?
What uke is that. I want it
Hi! I think this video is with my Lanikai flame maple baritone. I love it! It’s my go-to performance Uke
