NZUT Coloured Dots System

  • This is a great resource for teachers/kaiako who may not have their own dedicated teaching space.
  • Simply put these stickers and your students have all they need to have immediate success and confidently start their ukulele journey.
  • This is a great resource for building confidence with the basic chords.

Most schools / kura will already have these adhesive letter labels (14 per sheet) so check in with your office admin. Each sticker must be 98 x 33mm. You can also get can them at Warehouse Stationery WS A4 labels (14 to a page)

Four pages will be enough for 28 ukuleles.

You will need

  • 4 pages of letter labels
  • Thin sellotape (should fit between the frets – normal classroom sellotape is fine)
  • Scissors
  • Ukulele (NB this works for soprano ukuleles)

This template works for soprano-size ukuleles – by some wonderful coincidence, these particular letter labels are a perfect fit for this.

Two of the stickers (at the bottom) are for left-handed ukuleles should you need them.

Step #1

Place the strings to each side of the fretboard – don’t fret – they will stretch!

Step #2

Place the coloured dots on the fret board – the fret marks will match the frets on a soprano ukulele.

Step #3

Cut the sellotape to length and gather the strings together.

Step #4

This step helps with getting the sellotape underneath the strings.

Step #5

You can then slide the sellotape up underneath the strings and place it in between the desired frets.

Step #6

This ensures the dots stay clean and the stickers stays in place – we recommend placing sellotape on all the frets with the dots.

Step #7

Put the chord sticker on the side of the ukulele and your ukulele classroom is ready!
