Bernadette Teaches Music - Hi, I love this but can't make the chord shapes yet. I've only had my uke 3 weeks, Ive learnt the C, Am, F, G7 chord progression from your video with Dianna - please do you have any easy tutorials for songs using these chords ? Many thanks x
Hi, have you published the lyrics with the chord changes ?, the song sheet ? I can't find your link, and it's hard to write it out from the video - thank you so much x
Getting a tutorial from a music teacher is so much informative, that getting a tutorial from somebody that can play the instrument. You break down the song and make it easy. Thanks again.
Michael Cooke Michael, thank you SO MUCH for that compliment! It means THE WORLD to me ❤️ I’m going to forward this compliment to my professors who taught me how to teach and to my students who call me out when I don’t explain something well 😂 Glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Hope to hear from you more often 😉
I Love the support being shown by the other Fantastic ukulele teachers that have also taught me so much on ukulele. I love how connected the ukulele community is. SO connected!
My favorite "virtual" teacher...I started practicing yesterday night just for an hour and today I'm finally playing this song. Scuse my english mistakes but I'm so happy!!!! Thanks a lot! You're great!!!!
I'm from Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But now I live in Petrópolis and so far I will fallow you and your songs versions. Thanks. My native language is portuguese but I'm learning italian and spanish too.
My personal opinion: you are the best teacher using all the available resources for making the lesson more reliable for students. Thanks for shearing your precious talent and valuable time with us. BRAVO 👏. From Puerto Rico, USA.
I love that you have been including more fingerpicking in the last couple of tutorials because it means that I've really got to get the fingering for the chords spot on to sound good. It's a great reminder and a nice challenge.
🤔I hadn't thought about that, but you're right!!! The fingerpicking will expose any poor fingerings and poor posture. Ronnie, you always have wonderful insight. Please keep it coming ❤❤❤
OMG, why can't everyone teach like you! I just started learning ukulele two weeks ago and have been surfing TH-cam looking for good tutorials on easy songs that can be played with a little bit of fingerstyle. I don't sing and have very little musical talent, but watching you teach Havana makes me feel like I can actually learn it. Yours is by far the best I've found. I look forward to checking out all of your other lessons. Thank you
Bernadette Teaches Music ya it was my yearly's exam going on but I wish I lived in Japan so I could join your ukulele classes!! But thanks to God you upload teaching vids on YT
This is the best tutorial for Havana I've seen!! With every other tutorial I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I knew the chords and I knew the strumming pattern, but something was off. I figured I wasn't changing the chords at the right time but I just didn't know when to do it because no other tutorial explained it. Thank you so much!
Hi Lilly!! Yay!!!!! Glad that you were able to pick up on how to do the change correctly. It makes a HUGE difference to come in that half beat early. Hope to see you here again! ❤❤
I swear she can see me!!!!! She called look up here the same time wen i was looking at my hand she really is a PROFESSIONAL teacher she knows wen we look and wen we don't.... love u!!!!
Couldn't agree more. Maybe she doesn't sing as well as she'd like but it's most probably because she doesn't practice. She has something that can't be trained though - nice timbre. This type of husky voice is often a mark of best singers.
I rarely leave a comment on youtube, but within the first two minutes I was in awe. Being able to learn something, as if being taught by a teacher, and that too on youtube like this. I hope lots of blessings, love and kindness comes your way!
I've had a ukulele for about a month now and you're on of the first channels on TH-cam that I became hooked on! Thanks for another lesson! Peace and love from Montana.
I'm brazilian and I don't understand almost nothing what you say, but your explanation it's so intuitive that is so easy understand. Besides, you're very beautiful. Thank you.
You been such a blessing to me Bernadette because of you I'm learning to play all kinds of songs on my ukulele I'm a first-timer to this instrument but you're a huge inspiration to me thank you so sharing you're wonderful Talent🙏
I just wish I was blessed with long fingers like you have. Would make learning a whole lot easier. You're the best teacher by far. Am 74 and just got my Diana ukulele today. Hopefully watching your lessons, I'll be able to play a few songs. Thank you...
Hey Bernadette! I've been following your uke tutorials for 2 months now (since I got a new uke) and the amount of progress I've made shocks me! And it's all thanks to you! You're tutorials are so useful and so easy to follow and I can't wait to see future tutorials and keep improving at the uke. Thank you, love from India!!!🥰
Hi Ms B! Im playing ukulele for pretty long, i wanted to find a teacher but it was hard in Latvia.. Today I FINALLY found a teacher.. I never tought i should ask the GUITAR teacher if she can play ukulele 😂When summer ends i will probably start there with my friend who plays the ukulele too! Thanks for inspiring me to never give up! You are the best Ukulele teacher on TH-cam!
You are the best. You’re not only beautiful outside but your inner beauty shines through. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful teacher. I have rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and Takayasu Arteritis. Never thought I could do this but I’m learning.
Hey there! I've been playing ukelele for around 6 months. Recently, I've been trying to learn how to play the uke fingerstyle. Most of the tutorials here online go a little fast and I find it hard to follow. It'd be really amazing if you do a few tutorials playing songs fingerstyle. Btw, your tutorials have helped me a lot to learn playing so far. Thanks a bunch :)
This tutorial is VERY VERY good. You made good progress in teaching (what a pitty that I can't say the same about my playing...) and as I already mentioned in another video, your video layout is much more professional now. GREAT!!!
It means so much to me that you left this lovely comment 💕 you gave me some valuable feedback here. I’m glad you like the layout and my teaching BUT if you didn’t progress in your playing, that means I’M not that good of a teacher 😜
People can be great musicians but teaching people and breaking things down for those who want to learn is a completely different thing which btw you do an amazing job. Thx!
You are so pretty and this tutorial was SO HELPFUL!! Also all the chords you used were so easy to play and the trasition was so EASY!! I love this tutorial following up with your channel!!
You are so talented!!! Added to that, you have such great teaching skills and added to that you have such grace and patience. You are incredible! You deserve more attention, more love and more abundance . Keep shining you star, may you keep spreading your awesomeness❤️ Have been on your channel lately and cannot wait to learn from you !
I am learning slowly but surely because you are a very good teacher. You teach on how to play ukelele clearly and you motivate your viewers. Thank you for that. 😊
I Just want to thank you for this this tutorial. I bought a ukulele about a month ago and im learning it only through TH-cam tutorials and i gotta say yours are the Best. I dont play any other instrument so it was kinda hard but u make it soo easy and interesting. And your voice is soooo beautiful i wish i could sing like you. Greetings from Serbia, Europe.
You’re such a great teacher. You’re making my learning experience so great and so quick, I only started playing a month ago without having any prior knowledge about any musical instrument. Love from Pakistan!
i am going to be getting a ukelele and i cant tell you how much your videos help people! you make it so understanding to play the ukelele that i can even do it myself without being confused! thank you so so much!
hi i tried Learning havana from many diff channels, coz im lefty it was hard for me to paly the chords , ur channel, the chords were soooooooooooo easy , i could play so easily SO Thank you i love you ALOTTTTTTT
Hey!!! There you are! I was wondering why I hadn't heard from you yet! Glad you liked this tutorial and that you were able to follow along with it ❤️❤️
Awesome tutorial, thank you for the full explanation. I'm a new player and honestly couldn't understand most of the other videos I watched but you had me sounding like music in no time. 👍 First song ever
I just bought my ukulele ang had no idea about playing it. Really wanted to learn how to play it. You're such an awesome-blessing girl to me. This tutorial really helped me alot as I really wanted to play Havana. Thank you so much!
You know what’s funny Ms. B? When I was watching this tutorial my son happened to passed by, & he said, Oh! She knows Havana? I said yes, she’s a teacher... hehehehe :) he was surprised you were teaching Havana because he probably noticed you like to teach classics. Peace & love!
Even me , Ms B. I mostly play& sing old school music, so when I try to practice new stuff I always ask my kids if am I singing it right? Hehehe...and I love it when they just laugh! & they will joke on me daddy, you sound horrible! Lol!
Ohhh! you hold the D-chord first stroke 2 beats! I had to watch this over and over for the timing of the switch to D! Thanks for slowing it down so much. You really show how to simplify learning parts of a song!
Very cool. This song has a great feel. Watched it a bunch of times. 3 chords, oh ya. That clapping technique works well. Helps with the strumming, plus with the finger picking I actually sound good. Nice little confidence boost. Luisa had a tip about getting a ukulele journal---this is definitely going in it. Thanks for the song Ms.B.
Hey! Thank you so much for the detailed comment! ❤️ It really helps to know what you found useful, what sounds good, and what techniques help you learn, so I appreciate that! :) I need to start my journal asap! I liked that tip Luisa gave as well!
Thank you for this video because their are other tutorials on Havana but I can only understand your tutorials, because it's like being in a music class
Your rhythm exercise reminded me of how lazy I am with practicing rhythm for my singing lessons 😅 This is a great tutorial again! And you sang very well, no notes missed!
LUISA!!!! If I've learned anything from teaching, you're procrastinating these because you think you're not good at them OR you think they're too easy. There's no in between with students. Dm me a picture of your rhythms. Maybe I can help 🤗
Bernadette Teaches Music It's probably the first one, I get so confused and frustrated 😅 It's actually a song with a complicated rhythm and I know how I'm supposed to practice it, my teacher walked me through it already, I just can't bring myself to try 😭 Thank you so much for offering to help me, I know you're very busy ❤️
Yo this is like really underrated?? I feel like all the other tutorials don't explain everything in detail?? Like you explain everything perfectly and it's easier, otherwise other tutorials (although the chords maybe easy) they still fail to explain it properly.
Olivia Gruschow thank you so much!!! Now I wish I could go back and remake all the old videos to make them in this format 🤦🏻♀️ It’s so much easier to read.
Your tutorial on chucking is the best on TH-cam Bernadette. It helped me nail this song, albeit it’s coming together slowly for me. And this song seems to suit your voice, sounds wonderful! 💓
Abby Vdl You are right!!! 🙊 I agree!!! I don’t know why I didn’t post it much sooner 🤦🏻♀️ god we are here now, though. Do you remember which other songs people request all the time?
Been seeing La Vie En Rose (which i requested too), A Million Dreams, Despacito? Those are some of the most requested songs i usually read and remember at the moment
So. Much. Fun. My wife and I just picked up the basics and tempo in about an hour. Super fun and not very difficult. We love the way you break down the songs 🔥😊😍 Thank you for all of these videos.
Amazing teaching tutorial. You broke it down and simplified the strumming pattern, and chords, so learning was a lot easier. By far the best tutorial for this song I have found. Thanks so much. I subscribed. Can.t wait to see more.
i actually know how to play this on my uke already :3 but i still watched your vids cause im enjoying too much your voice is so relaxing :> hope you dont stop teaching us!
Do Not Chou Tzuyu Because She's Not a Food now THIS is a supportive friend right here!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 thank you SO MUCH!!! 😘😘😘😘 reaching here is my number one most favorite thing to do!!!
I also like to switch to a D7 after the D, which adds a little upbeat and I feel like it sort of adds to the main progression you taught in the video 🙃 just a little personal addition to this awesome song!
Emily Teigland I READ YOUR MIND!!! Hahahhaa 😆 thank you so much for being here and leaving a comment, Emily! Lovely TH-cam photo too! Love all the green 🍃
Another very detailed song tutorial. Love how much detail you get into :) Nice editing. Lovely fingerpicking pattern. Good Morning and have a nice day. Just woke up :D
Thank you! 👏 This is the best lesson I have ever seen. 🙏 Without understanding English, everything is clear and understandable 👍. I wish you creative success!🌹🌹🌹
hi I have been doing your lessons for the past couple weeks and I have learned a lot of songs and they are awesome and I will always do your lessons you are amazing .
omggg the moment when you said look up here look up here i was so scared that it wasnt a video and that you were actually there telling me to look at what you’re doing. Ahhaa also can you do a makeup routine because you look absolutely stunning, your skin is FLAWLESS!!
Bernadette, good tutorial. Can I asking you for one tutorial of “Lovely”? Is a Billie Eillish song, and I wanted to learn it but in finger picking. Please :3 I love you, have a good day! ❤️
Its Nice too be here with you. It's 2.57 am, here and I'm also waiting for news that I am a Great Uncle to a new addition to the family, I think I'm getting contractions so it should be soon 👶C
I 💖 "ukuladies n gentlemen"! Thank you for this tute. My 5yo LOVES his Mahalo pumpkin uke - and he always points out Havana on radio or mall music "Daddy it's your favourite!" We're going to love practicing this together when I get a uke too. Saving $10 a week skipping 1 take out meal :) which is helping in other respects anyway. Meanwhile 10mins practicing his grip and finger use is going great!
Hahaha, I didn't know how to use that phrase! I thought I would sneak it in slowly and see how the crowd would respond :) I am SO PROUD of you for saving money this way. You are melting my heart! PLEASE let me know when you reach your goal so that I can celebrate with you!
Loved this video. Now I can't get this tune outa my head! Wife and I made it to our place in Wyoming, so I will be posting the first video of me learning the Ukulele within the next couple of days. I admit I have been practicing a bit.
I love you so much!! you are so amazing. this video helped so much. I am trying to start playing ukulele and I watched your beginners and now I am watching Havana and I have not stopped practicing all of your videos. Thank you so much for putting your ukulele skills out there. Once again I love you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much, Cristine! I am happy to hear that! I didn't know if the chucking part was going to be clear enough, so I really appreciate your comment!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I Love the support being shown by the other Fantastic ukulele teachers that have also taught me so much on ukulele. I love how connected the ukulele community is. SO connected!
It really is a wonderful community. I love love love it :)
My favorite "virtual" teacher...I started practicing yesterday night just for an hour and today I'm finally playing this song. Scuse my english mistakes but I'm so happy!!!! Thanks a lot! You're great!!!!
Hi Mia! Where are you from? What's your native language?
So glad that you can play this song :)
Thank you for your comment! ❤❤❤
I'm from Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But now I live in Petrópolis and so far I will fallow you and your songs versions. Thanks. My native language is portuguese but I'm learning italian and spanish too.
I love how you slow it down for us, it really lets me wrap my head around what is happening.
My personal opinion: you are the best teacher using all the available resources for making the lesson more reliable for students. Thanks for shearing your precious talent and valuable time with us. BRAVO 👏. From Puerto Rico, USA.
I love that you have been including more fingerpicking in the last couple of tutorials because it means that I've really got to get the fingering for the chords spot on to sound good. It's a great reminder and a nice challenge.

She is the best teacher, look how very slowly she explains every part! Love ya
thank you so much :) Nice to see you here again! I feel like it's been a little while since I saw you :)

3:21 - you are not a terrible singer. you've got beautiful voice! should sing more!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ you are so nice. Thank you :)
yes so pretty too
Couldn't agree more. Maybe she doesn't sing as well as she'd like but it's most probably because she doesn't practice. She has something that can't be trained though - nice timbre. This type of husky voice is often a mark of best singers.
I rarely leave a comment on youtube, but within the first two minutes I was in awe. Being able to learn something, as if being taught by a teacher, and that too on youtube like this. I hope lots of blessings, love and kindness comes your way!

Bernadette, eres encantadora 😃 Your kind and gentle manner makes me glad!
Hi Ms B! Im playing ukulele for pretty long, i wanted to find a teacher but it was hard in Latvia.. Today I FINALLY found a teacher.. I never tought i should ask the GUITAR teacher if she can play ukulele 😂When summer ends i will probably start there with my friend who plays the ukulele too!

You are the best. You’re not only beautiful outside but your inner beauty shines through. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful teacher. I have rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and Takayasu Arteritis. Never thought I could do this but I’m learning.
Ahh Ms B this is a wonderful tutorial for this song. you break it down so simply and this girl LOVES options!! Thanks!
U knw, i love how u teach. U make it easier for us beginners to catch up. What a great teacher!!! God bless

It means so much to me that you left this lovely comment 💕 you gave me some valuable feedback here. I’m glad you like the layout and my teaching BUT if you didn’t progress in your playing, that means I’M not that good of a teacher 😜
No... that means that I was too lazy...
haaaaaa!!!
Hi I am a 8 years old and I got bored in lock down and started playing uke and your channel is very helpful.
I love that you’re doing easy versions of popular songs :)
I am glad you love that, Mary!!! Thank you for letting me know ;)
People can be great musicians but teaching people and breaking things down for those who want to learn is a completely different thing which btw you do an amazing job. Thx!
You are so pretty and this tutorial was SO HELPFUL!! Also all the chords you used were so easy to play and the trasition was so EASY!! I love this tutorial following up with your channel!!

AHAHA! Yep!!! I have stayed away from pop... until now! ;)
Even me , Ms B. I mostly play& sing old school music, so when I try to practice new stuff I always ask my kids if am I singing it right? Hehehe...and I love it when they just laugh! & they will joke on me daddy, you sound horrible! Lol!
aww, that is SO precious!!! ❤❤❤

Bernadette Teaches Music I'm actually procrastinating rhythm practice right now oops 😅

Yo this is like really underrated?? I feel like all the other tutorials don't explain everything in detail?? Like you explain everything perfectly and it's easier, otherwise other tutorials (although the chords maybe easy) they still fail to explain it properly.
I'm really enjoying your interactive way of teaching too! It's such a good idea😊
Olivia Gruschow thank you so much!!! Now I wish I could go back and remake all the old videos to make them in this format 🤦🏻♀️ It’s so much easier to read.
Bernadette Teaches Music all your other videos are still fabulous though 😂❣️
Olivia Gruschow aww, thank you Olivia! You are always so nice to me. ❤️
This is the best Havana tutorial! it makes it so much more interesting (and challenging)!
ur such a beautiful and talented teacher! im learning so much thanks!!!
Mochii thank you 😊 I love mochi!!
you are the best .. I am not a singer so your tut are working for me greatly. Lovely varieties of fingerpicking and strumming.
I absolutely like this tutorial so so much. Enjoy learning it .Thanks Miss B yr are so good!
Hey Jackii :) thank you! You've been here so long now!
ur subtle smile... relaxed teaching... u r just charming..... keep smiling...
Wonderful. I learned so much in just a few minutes. Best part “Ukuladies and gentlemen “ 😂
Thank you so much, Jack :) I really appreciate all of my ukuladies and gentlemen ;)
Your tutorial on chucking is the best on TH-cam Bernadette. It helped me nail this song, albeit it’s coming together slowly for me. And this song seems to suit your voice, sounds wonderful! 💓
I think its one of the most requested songs you get all the time 😊 You're very pretty in this video 😍
Abby Vdl You are right!!! 🙊 I agree!!! I don’t know why I didn’t post it much sooner 🤦🏻♀️ god we are here now, though. Do you remember which other songs people request all the time?
Been seeing La Vie En Rose (which i requested too), A Million Dreams, Despacito? Those are some of the most requested songs i usually read and remember at the moment
Abby Vdl 🤓 okay! Studying these TONIGHT!!
Awesome!! 👏👏👏
So. Much. Fun. My wife and I just picked up the basics and tempo in about an hour. Super fun and not very difficult. We love the way you break down the songs 🔥😊😍 Thank you for all of these videos.
252 comments in 14 hours!?! Maaaan, I’ve never done 1/4 of that. You’re crushing it!
Thank you Tyler!!! You're the best... you're so good, you have videos with MILLIONS of views ;)
TenThumbs Productions Don’t worry, You are fab too 😉
Thank you! I'm just proud of Bern, she is crushing it!
This one is going a million for sure, I can see it already. I bet it hits 10,000 in less than a week, I bet a million in 12 months. I can feel it.
AHHHHH!!! Muchas gracias, Tyler! You're the best :) we all love you in this community!
Amazing teaching tutorial. You broke it down and simplified the strumming pattern, and chords, so learning was a lot easier. By far the best tutorial for this song I have found. Thanks so much. I subscribed. Can.t wait to see more.
Thank you so so so so much for that!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ It means so so much!
i actually know how to play this on my uke already :3 but i still watched your vids cause im enjoying too much your voice is so relaxing :> hope you dont stop teaching us!
Do Not Chou Tzuyu Because She's Not a Food now THIS is a supportive friend right here!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 thank you SO MUCH!!! 😘😘😘😘 reaching here is my number one most favorite thing to do!!!
NO WAY! I was just sitting, WISHING you had a Havana tutorial! My dreams have come true! Thanks for the great tutorial Ms B!
Emily
I also like to switch to a D7 after the D, which adds a little upbeat and I feel like it sort of adds to the main progression you taught in the video 🙃 just a little personal addition to this awesome song!
Emily Teigland I READ YOUR MIND!!! Hahahhaa 😆 thank you so much for being here and leaving a comment, Emily! Lovely TH-cam photo too! Love all the green 🍃
Emily Teigland and in response to your D7... yes! Ariel McCleary does this too!!!
You are a great teacher

Bernadette Teaches Music ohh, I don’t know, that’s just how I learned it in the play along I found

Nieves Huaman ha ha ha, I should have explained myself! But you answered perfectly! 😁

I started my day with this tutorial and it was awesome! Thank you from Russia, Bernadette!
omggg the moment when you said look up here look up here i was so scared that it wasnt a video and that you were actually there telling me to look at what you’re doing. Ahhaa also can you do a makeup routine because you look absolutely stunning, your skin is FLAWLESS!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ I KNOW my students ;) I KNOW you weren't looking at me!!!
Thank you for the makeup compliment. I may do a teacher makeup routine ;)
You are such an amazing teacher! Thank you ❤

Bernadette, good tutorial.
Can I asking you for one tutorial of “Lovely”? Is a Billie Eillish song, and I wanted to learn it but in finger picking. Please :3
I love you, have a good day! ❤️
Great video! Love how you explain how the D comes in. It throws people off. Thank you!!!
Wow, I wanted this song tutorial, thanks for making it, your hair looks fabulous, liked 👍
Thank you so much! Diana recommended I wear it up more often :)
Don't you just love it when she goes "look up here look up here look up here"?
Its Nice too be here with you. It's 2.57 am, here and I'm also waiting for news that I am a Great Uncle to a new addition to the family, I think I'm getting contractions so it should be soon 👶C
I was about to ask why you were up so late!!!! 😱😱😱
I love your sense of humor. Congratulations on the impending birth. Hope you're not in too much pain.
Lauren 😂😂😂 I love your sense of humor too!!
You’re a good teacher! I was following someone else, and they were too fast. You broke it down, and I love the finger picking!
Super understandable and well teached, thanks a lot! Keep on doing what you're doing, you rock!
Helena, how are you doing with your ukulele journey? 😊
I 💖 "ukuladies n gentlemen"!
Thank you for this tute. My 5yo LOVES his Mahalo pumpkin uke - and he always points out Havana on radio or mall music "Daddy it's your favourite!" We're going to love practicing this together when I get a uke too. Saving $10 a week skipping 1 take out meal :) which is helping in other respects anyway. Meanwhile 10mins practicing his grip and finger use is going great!
Hahaha, I didn't know how to use that phrase! I thought I would sneak it in slowly and see how the crowd would respond :)
I am SO PROUD of you for saving money this way. You are melting my heart! PLEASE let me know when you reach your goal so that I can celebrate with you!
Loved this video. Now I can't get this tune outa my head! Wife and I made it to our place in Wyoming, so I will be posting the first video of me learning the Ukulele within the next couple of days. I admit I have been practicing a bit.
let me know when you post it! I want to come and see it! ❤️❤️
