The Ukulele CtB

 This week in counting the beat we have been learning about ukuleles and recorders. Something I learnt about ukuleles is that it has different types and sizes.

A thing I learnt about recorders is that they have different sizes, and how to use them.

There were lots of ukuleles I saw this week. Some ukuleles I saw were the electric ukulele,the baritone,concert,tenor and the banjolele.


There were also lots of different types of recorders I saw too. The ones I saw were tenor,comfort,bass and great bass.



Here are 3 parts of a ukulele.

  1. The frets: The frets are the strings that lay across the fretboard. The frets are what you used to create sound when you press down on the strings to cause a type of sound.  You can change the sound by using something called a tuner which I'll explain on the 3rd one.

  2. Sonudhole: A soundhole is what’s used to echo the sound inside the body. The soundhole is located on top of the bridge. 

  3. The tuner: The tuner is at the top of the ukulele. The tuner is used for changing the pitch from the sound of the strings. To do this what you need to do is rotate it then the pitch will change.#
