Study No. 1: Tenderness

This is the first piece from Choan Gálvez’s 50 Miniature Studies for Ukulele, a collection thought to develop musicality and a variety of fingerpicking techniques.

In “Tenderness”, we play repeating right hand patterns that involve both arpeggiation with one finger per string and finger alternation when two consecutive notes are plucked on the same string. Melody notes should be highlighted through dynamics.
