Sheet Music
Ukulele Sheet Music Arrangements of Mine (PDF)
Note: I often do ukulele arrangements of my own songs and they may contain melody lines, normal notation or TAB. It all depends on the song. I orignally did mostly traditional sheet music of melody lines with ukulele chord fretboards for my own songs in the early years, but I realized much later that my more intricate arrangements required TAB notation. So, I've adapted to my situation and also... at my age... I need to put these tunes down so I can still remember how to play them! LOL hehe Believe you me... I often go back to my scores now and I'm so happy I can see the chords and replay what I have forgotten. Yes! It works.
From a software point of view, I use Finale NotePad and Sibelius software to make my musical ukulele scores that I save as PDF files. I first use Finale NotePad to input the original melody, and then I take that exported XML file into Sibelius to create the ukulele score.
BTW: I am also working on creating a single PDF file called "The Compleat Pete Ukulele Scores" that contains all the songs below. Stay tuned. I will continually update it as I add more songs.
