The Collector’s Edition Premium Color Ukulele Arrangements!

I am thrilled to announce that the Collector’s Edition of 12 Timeless Love Songs is officially here! This isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a premium experience of instrumental chord melody arrangements designed for ukulele players who appreciate the art of solo and duet performance.

While the Valentine’s Day Special Edition was a celebration of a season, I believe that love isn’t just for February—it’s more about the spirit of love than the “lovers” on a single calendar date. Since love is universal, I wanted to create a version that is truly timeless and durable.

This Collector’s Edition offers a more vibrant experience; it preserves the heart of the original but replaces the black and white with vibrant color illustrations of Eve Myles and chord names in bold red for clarity and inspiration. To keep the focus entirely on the music and the art, I have streamlined this edition, omitting the original afterword and dedication to let the melodies speak for themselves.

We Shall Overcome on high G ukulele

A year ago, as part of my Daily Music Writing Project, I arranged We Shall Overcome for both high‑G and low‑G ukulele. I’m grateful I blogged about it at the time—because I had completely forgotten I’d done it! Yesterday, I revisited the song using only a lead sheet and ended up writing an entirely new chord‑melody arrangement. To my surprise, it turned out quite different from last year’s version. And honestly? It’s better. Here’s why.

It contains 24 progressive studies plus two waltzes and a bonus arrangement – Auld Lang Syne, just in time for Robert Burns Night.

Step by Step by Anne Ku

Getting started is usually the hardest part. That’s why I tell my students that showing up is half the battle. It means you’ve already taken the first step. From there, a journey can lead anywhere: down a rabbit hole, toward insight, or somewhere completely unexpected. Step by Step is a new ukulele piece I’ve written for high or low G ukulele. It’s built on a simple idea and an even simpler truth: progress begins one step at a time. It’s the first of 12 progressive pieces in my third book “Step by Step to Chord Melody” – available worldwide on Amazon.

Snow White Waltz for high G ukulele

The first snowfall is always magical—just like the first day of anything new. The snow lies fresh and white, and in its stillness, I hear a waltz: the Snow White Waltz. It begins as an arpeggio, a chord melody that invites a second player to join with gentle um-pah-pah strums. The tune feels familiar, echoing something timeless, yet waiting to become its own story.
