I have been playing uke (baritone) for a few years now and about 6 months ago decided I really wanted to take my playing to the next level. I wanted to learn how to read and write music, music theory, etc. I also just wanted to be a better player capable of more complicated pieces. I began music lessons with a man in my small town (guitar teacher). He was pretty much my only option here, but he didn't even know for sure what the uke was when he saw it, so I should have taken that as a sign! He is brilliant and skilled, but after 6 mo. I really do not feel I have learned or progressed much. He is so guitar focused and and difficult to understand in general. I am inclined to stop my very expensive lessons with him and strike out on my own. My question is, what is out there in the way of books, DVDs, etc. that I can use to learn on my own? I would rather spend money to get something that will really help me. Jim Beloff? Mitch Chang? Let me know!
