Learn To Play Happy Birthday To You On Your Ukulele

An ukulele is a breathtaking instrument to use on a birthday celebration! Today you will learn the ukulele chords to a predominant song!

We will first take a look at the lyrics:

Ukulele

Happy Birthday To You

Happy Birthday To You

Happy Birthday Dear ...

Happy Birthday To You

The names of the chords we play presupposes that your ukulele is tuned in C. This means that your first string is an A.

Now you will learn the ukulele chord C-major:

C: 0/4 0/3 0/2 3/1

This ukulele tab notation will help you to find which frets and strings to use on your ukulele.

The first number tells you which fret to press down. The number after the slash indicate the string.

0/4 means that you play the open fourth string on your ukulele. Yes, an open string is a string we don't press down.

3/1 means that you press down the third fret on the first string.

You have to learn one more chord in order to play the first line of lyrics. It will be G7:

G7: 0/4 2/3 1/2 2/1

Time to try the ukulele chords for the first line. I will put the chord names in front of the words where you convert chords:

Happy (C)Birthday To (G7)You

The next line has the same lyrics but a distinct chord combination.

Happy (G7)Birthday To (C)You

You will need to know one more ukulele chord. That is F:

F: 2/4 0/3 1/2 0/1

Time for the third line. We will put a name in the lyrics:

Happy (C)Birthday Dear (F)Martha

Now it's time for you to unblemished this song. The last line:

Happy (C)Birthday (G7)To (C)You

You can of procedure play the song in other keys on your ukulele. I will just give you one more key to play you song in.

I will make a microscopic conversion table for you to use in order to play the song in D-major. First you will get the chords in D-major:

D: 2/4 2/3 2/2 0/1

You will also use the chord A7:

A7: 0/4 1/3 0/2 0/1

and ultimately G-major:

G: 0/4 2/3 3/2 2/1

In order to be able to play Happy Birthday To You in the key of D you have to replace the chords in the following way:

C becomes D

G7 becomes A7

F becomes G

This convert of key will give you a opening to sing in a slightly higher pitch. Of procedure there are more keys that you can use. We have distinct key preferences because of our personal singing abilities but these keys are good for an untrained voice at least.

Now you can play the ukulele chords to the song Happy Birthday To You in two keys!

There will be plentifulness of opportunities for you to play this song. Learn it by heart one line at a time and you will be able to play the song wherever there is an ukulele.

A Baby Einstein Party Designed to Enrich Your Baby's 1st Birthday!

Capture the wonder and joy of your miniature Einstein's first birthday with a Baby Einstein birthday party. Since Baby Einstein helps teach children about animals and colors, try to couple these things in order to come up with some ingenious 1st birthday party ideas.

Invitation

Ukulele

Cut an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock into 4 pieces. Whether download animals or use die-cut ducks, frogs, cats, dogs, turtles, etc. And glue to one side of the cardstock. Type or hand-write your party details in calligraphy on a decorative piece of scrapbook paper. Cut the scrapbook paper with decorative scissors to a accomplished size of 3" x 4 1/2". Glue to the back of the cardstock. Discontinue it off by decorating the corners with Baby Einstein stickers. Here's some suggested wording for your invite:

Hooray for you,
Hooray for me.
Come have fun,
I'm turning one!

Party Games & Activities

To magnify your theme, generate exploration tables for your miniature ones to enjoy exploring. Be sure to have parents or helpers at each table to support with the various activities.

Instrument Table - Try to have a diverse assortment of musical instruments available. Size proper and easy to use instruments like cymbals, tambourines, bells, chimes, shakers, cowbells, maracas, rhythm sticks, ukulele, and triangle are all great choices.

Building Table - Have available blocks, stack n' sort cubes, geometric stackers, alphabet nesting stacking blocks, and shape sorting cubes for construction fun.

Puzzle Table - Chunky puzzles are a perfect addition to this theme party. Look for puzzles that are farm animals, construction, dinosaurs, fish, jungle animals, house pets, shapes, cars, etc.

Toy Table - Lots of toys supply educational fun and some of the best selection are a Baby Einstein Octoplush, Press & Play Pals Dragon, Tummy Tickers Bird, Tummy Ticklers Dog, Tummy Ticklers Dragon, Discovery Sounds Home, and Fisher Price Lil people Musical Zoo Train.

Birthday Cake Ideas

Use Wilton's mini sports ball cake pan, which makes 6 half balls, to generate a Baby Einstein caterpillar cake. Frost each ball red, blue, green, yellow, orange, and purple. Place caterpillar domes close together and crooked (like it is crawling) on cake cardboard. Add chocolate chips for eyes and shoestring licorice for antenna. If you need more cake for the guests, just duplicate the recipe and make your caterpillar longer.

Party Favors

Decorate clear cellophane bags or small colorful paper bags with Baby Einstein stickers. Fill them with Baby Einstein finger puppets, stickers, bubbles, small stuffed animal, Play-doh, rubber ducky, or bath crayons.

Ukulele Tab: Learn To Play Happy Birthday To You

An ukulele can be used to play chords when you sing but you can also play melodies. It's fun and quite easy to learn melodies on your uke with ukulele tab. Let's learn to play Happy Birthday To You!

As many population know "Happy Birthday to You" is a song which is sung to celebrate a person's birth. Agreeing to the Guinness Book of World Records, "Happy Birthday to You" is the most popular song in the English language.

Ukulele

Here is the most coarse lyrics. "Peter" is to be supplanted by the name of the celebrating person.

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday dear "Peter",

Happy birthday to you.

I use my own form of ukulele tab for articles like this to be sure that the tabs are readable on record sites. The more coarse ukulele tab staff notation can be found on my site with ukulele tabs and free sheet music.

The string with the highest pitch is commonly an A and is called the first string. The first string is the string nearest your feet when you play your uke.

The first notes in the song are on the third string.

The first amount indicates the fret. The second amount after the slash tells you which string to play. Here is the first line of lyrics and the ukulele tab:

Happy birthday to you,

0/3 0/3 2/3 0/3 1/2 0/2

0/3 indicates that you play the third string with your right hand thumb for example without pressing down any left hand finger. It is called to play on the open third string.

This type of ukulele tab doesn't indicate the distance of the notes. I guess you hear that the first two notes are short and the last note long.

Let's play the next line:

Happy birthday to you,

0/3 0/3 2/3 0/3 3/2 1/2

3/2 means that you press down a left hand finger on the third fret of the second string. I haven't told you whatever about which left hand finger to press down on the frets on your ukulele.

You can use your first finger for all the notes but a more pro arrival is to play the notes on the first fret with your first finger, the notes on the second fret with your long finger and the notes on your third fret with your ring finger.

Maybe it's difficult at first but with practice it will be easier for you to find the right notes. You don't even have to look at your fingers to find the right fret if you get accustomed to this way of playing.

The next line comes now:

Happy birthday dear "Peter",

0/3 0/3 3/1 0/1 1/2 0/2 2/3

You know what the ukulele tab above tells you by now.

The last line comes here:

Happy birthday to you.

1/1 1/1 0/1 1/2 3/2 1/2

Now you can play Happy Birthday To You on your ukulele and you are prepared for the next birthday party!

Actually you can play this melody with the use of the above ukulele tab notation on a guitar also. The first three strings are tuned the same way but not in the same pitch.

The ukulele tab notation I have used is good for seeing the notes but I recommend you to learn the melody by heart so you can play it anytime and anywhere!
