Since it’s so small and has just four strings, the ukulele is an accessible first instrument for children eager to play. In this department, you'll find a range of ukuleles for kids, all of them compact and some in different shapes and fun colours.

Ukulele Accessories and Complete Ukulele Packs
It's recommended to pick up a couple of useful accessories along with your ukulele, like a tuner to help tuning up and a ukulele strap so you can play standing up. Also, don't forget about a ukulele stand and a ukulele gig bag or case to guarantee safe storage and transport. And if you want, you can also get a complete ukulele starter pack that includes everything beginners need to get started.
How Much is a Children’s Ukulele?
Thanks to the immense popularity of the ukulele and their relatively small size, children's ukuleles are surprisingly affordable. A basic soprano uke for kids can cost less than £20 - just have a look at Fazley's range of ukuleles which are known for their excellent value for money.
Playing Nursery Rhymes and Songs for Kids on the Ukulele Using Lessons Books or YouTube
A ukulele lesson book can help to ease those first steps when learning to play the ukulele. There are ukulele music books that explain chords as well as books that focus on playing melodies. You can also learn to play countless popular songs by watching other musicians on YouTube or Instagram.
The Different Ukulele Sizes
Any size of ukulele is basically suitable for children. Even the biggest ukulele is a lot smaller than a standard guitar and will be relatively easy to manage. Really young music-makers might need a small soprano ukulele, and if they need a bigger model later, they could trade it in for a concert model or a slightly larger tenor ukulele. The guitar-ukulele (also called the guitalele) is another option and is basically a high-pitched mini-guitar equipped with six strings. While chords are a little bit harder to grab, a guitarlele will always help ease the step-over to a guitar in the future.
Frequently Asked Questions About Children's Ukuleles
Is a guitar or a ukulele better for children?
The ukulele is a lot more accessible than the guitar since it's not only smaller and easier to hold, but features four strings instead of six for a less complex learning experience.
