There are many ways you can hold a ukulele when you are playing, but it is important to
be comfortable and that you can use both hands without worrying about dropping your
instrument on the floor.
You play best when your shoulders and arms feel relaxed.
Don’t scrunch anything up!
It is a great idea to use a
ukulele strap
. Keep the
strap short so the ukulele
head is
level with your
shoulder.
You can
sit
or
stand
with the ukulele
in the same position.
If you want to sit with
your uke then it is best to
rest the body between
your legs so it feels secure.
Raise your left leg and
point the ukulele head
at the sky.
STANDING
SITTING
You should always sit or stand up straight when practising. Keep your back and shoulders straight and don’t position your
neck in an uncomfortable angle
HOLDING
YOUR UKULELE
It is tricky to wriggle your fingers
if your wrists are too bent. Give
it a go! Make sure your wrists
are straight when you hold
your uke. Don’t squeeze your
ukulele’s neck! Rest your thumb
on the back of the neck so you
have room to move your
fingers comfortably.
