Visit the below sites for breaking news. I've been getting my ukulele news via Google and Yahoo news alerts as well as the above sites.

I know I'm sounding like a music teacher, but my advice is learn music and learn music theory. Because once you learn music theory, you don't need anybody to teach you. You can figure things out for yourself. And the sky's the limit, there's no limit. … Byron Yasui
Byron Yasui is a professor of music theory at the University of Hawaii and a master of classical and jazz music.

Thanks for visiting and checking out my site!
Content is always being added and updated. So check-in often. Thanks, Curt
P.S. You may think from the look of it that Curt Sheller Publications is a slick, profitable business, but it's actually not (maybe a car payment a month, cheap car). I spend a lot and time money creating the content, lessons and books for this site (a labor of love), so if you dig my content and want to see more of it. I could use your help by spreading the word and maybe buying a book or two if you haven't already, to help defray the cost of running the site. Thanks in advance for your help. This is a labor of love and I'd do it even if I didn't make a lot of money, hey I don't!
You can also make a donation to the lesson-site fund. Button in the sidebar of the site.
If I'm not teaching, I'm working on this site and new lessons, books and goodies.
