Do you want to make music with kids, but you don't know where to start?
You’d love to make music with the children in your life.
But between confusing tutorials, songbooks that assume you already know how to play, and songs that are way too hard for beginners...
It’s easy to feel discouraged.
Let’s change that—starting today.
Auntie Alice’s Songbasket is for anyone who wants to sing and strum with children—whether you’re a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, friend, or early childhood educator.
Even if you’ve never played an instrument before, this is a fun, gentle way to begin.
If you can already play a few chords on ukulele, this resource makes it really easy for you. Everything you need, all in one place.
A joyful way to start playing ukulele - even if you're brand new
Learn to play 22 classic, well-loved children’s songs
Step-by-step videos plus printable songbook
Make music that connects hearts - not screens
Start from scratch - no experience needed
You don't need talent - just a little time and joy
I’ve helped hundreds of adults, many with no musical background, learn to play ukulele.
You don’t need to read music. You don’t need to “be a singer.”
You just need a desire to share music with the little people in your life.
This Songbasket meets you exactly where you are—and helps you grow from there.
What's different about this?
You may have tried:
YouTube videos that move too fast
Songbooks that don’t explain strumming
Songs that are too complex—or not designed for ukulele
Auntie Alice’s Songbasket is simple, structured, and beginner-friendly.
It’s designed to get you playing confidently and joyfully—with no overwhelm.
Who it's not for
If you’re an advanced player seeking complex arrangements, this will be too basic.
If you want to learn to read standard musical notation, that’s not covered here.
But if you’re a beginner or intermediate player who wants to make music with kids, you’re in the right place.

About Alice
I’ve played music all my life—and taught hundreds of adults to play ukulele, including many who thought they never could.
I first learned three chords from my mum at age six and fell in love with the ukulele. Though I later trained in classical music and played everything from bluegrass to rock, I never forgot the joy the ukulele brought me.
Now I help folks reconnect with music in a way that feels right for them.
Whether you’re completely new or just getting started again, I’d love to help you find your musical voice.

You might be wondering:
Do I need to read music?
Nope! You’ll learn to read chord tabs (a simple, visual system for ukulele).
I’ve never played an instrument. Can I do this?
Yes! This is designed for complete beginners. The first 7 songs are a gentle, encouraging place to start.
I’m not a total beginner. Is this for me?
If you want to make music with kids, but you’re not already doing it – this is for you.
When I was a young mother, I didn’t have the time or the brain space to go looking for children’s songs to play with my kids. This is what I needed, back then.
Is this a course or what?
I’ve called it a songbasket, because it’s both a book full of songs, and video tutorials to show how to play them. It’s mostly at beginner level, but it’s not a course. You can dip in and out anywhere you want to.
If you’re looking for a structured beginner ukulele program, check out my four-week Beginner Ukulele course here.
What if I can’t sing?
Children don’t care if you don't sound perfect—they love that you’re singing with them. And the more you sing, the easier it gets!
What if I don’t have a ukulele yet?
The songbook includes tips for buying an affordable beginner ukulele. I suggest a mid-range option—not too cheap, but no need to splurge either. If you're making music with kids, having more than one uke helps cut down on conflict!
What gear do I need?
A device with internet access to watch the videos (or download them)
A clip-on electronic tuner or free phone tuning app
A printer for the song charts
A music stand (optional, but helpful)
Here's what you'll get:
Downloadable PDF songbook
22 play-along videos (one for each song)
7 strumming tutorials
30-minute bonus fingerpicking tutorial
Step-by-step beginner guidance
One-time payment: $55 USD
