WELCOME!
Now is a good time to start playing ukulele!
It’s an even better time to improve your chops!
NEW FEATURE!:
LIST OF ALL SONGS ON THIS WEBSITE as of Feb. 1, 2024:
SUGGESTION: Many songs have multiple files. If you use the Search feature on this website it will only take you to specific files, one at a time. It is much better to scroll down the web page to the song so that you can see all of its associated files for all instruments in their full context, with the relevant comments and performance tips. It is well worth the extra effort.

“If music be the food of love, play on!” ― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
UPDATE: Unfortunately, the 2020 Covid pandemic wiped out our well-rehearsed and -accomplished acoustic orchestra, but we’re still offering individual and group lessons and an abundance of resources for ukulele, guitar and bass.
HERE ARE SOME PAST TESTIMONIALS:
“I was looking for ensemble music specifically for ukulele, though I also play and teach guitar and piano, and came across your site. Less than a third of the way down the scroll bar, I had to pause and find your contact to say thank you! What a BEAUTIFUL webpage–honestly all the years of the internet, the best page over all that I have EVER come across! This page speaks your heart and what a beautiful heart you have! You are a bright light! I will definitely be perusing your site!” — Sincerely, L. Ferrell
“Just to say that I am glad to have found you. I am here in America from China where I teach university. Browsing the internet for music for uke in other languages and cultures (that is my field), I got you. Thanks. Lucky me! Keep it up!! You, Mr. Monfils and ukelovers, have you all a safe summer.” — Ray Bahamon
“Just wanted to thank you for making such fantastic resources available. Can’t wait to try our first instrumental arrangement with our ukulele group. Hope they enjoy it as much as I have. Much appreciated and thanks again . . .” — Andrina
“Our thanks go to you and your fabulous musicians! I heard NUMEROUS compliments from our group as to how well you performed and how much they enjoyed the music. Some were amazed at the thought of this all coming from ukuleles. You certainly have a great bunch of kids, there. Thanks again!” — Beja Shriners of Green Bay
“Thank you so much for the delightful entertainment! You really added so much to our celebration and we had so many compliments!” — Barb and the Staff of Fort Howard Apts.
“Hi Michael, Thank you to you and the Green Bay Ukulele Club for a wonderful holiday performance on Saturday! You spread holiday cheer and the audience loved listening and singing along! We will definitely look forward to having your group return in the future! All the best!” — Dawn Barron, Activity Coordinator, De Pere Community Center
OUR MISSION:
It’s 2017 and we have a new mission, and that is TO MAKE YOU A BETTER PLAYER AND A BETTER PERSON! There are thousands of ukulele clubs and websites on the internet today. What sets us apart from most is that our focus is on getting you from a beginner to intermediate level of musicianship as quickly and painlessly as possible! Here’s what we have to offer:
- Some of the best free sheet music and ukulele resources on the web, updated regularly
- Multiple parts and full scores in tablature form
- Audio files of the tablature for reference and practice
- Individual and group lessons
Here are some things people have had to say about their ukulele club experience:
- “She loves it! It has boosted my daughter’s confidence. It has also brought us closer together . . .”
- “It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I walked in and there were people singing and smiling. The happiness, you could feel.”
- “I also think it’s very popular because it’s fun; it’s hard to be miserable when you’re playing.
- “The kids get this thing in their hands, and it just makes sense. It’s the right size. It’s enjoyable.”
- “No matter how bad a day you’ve had, you go and do a ukulele workshop and you’re smiling and laughing.”
- “Pound-for-pound, the ukulele brings more smiles to faces than any other instrument. It’s easy to play, fun, small, and affordable.”
- “. . . and there’s the ukulele, doing what it does best: being portable, creating intimacy, and sounding nice.”
The Green Bay Ukulele Club’s emphasis is on duets, trios, and larger ensembles. Our goal is to promote playing together and sounding good! Remember: as the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle said, “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts!”
