Book 2 is “100% High 4th Friendly.” What does that mean?
In the classroom context, the authors strongly recommend the use of “low-4th-string” tuning (or “linear” tuning) in which the fourth string is replaced with a thicker string and tuned down an octave. This expands the melodic range of the ukulele, creating more opportunities for students to play in harmony, clarifying the structure of scales and chords, and putting more repertoire at students’ fingertips.
