More free music teacher resources
This collection of ukulele chord diagrams is the third set of free images I’ve shared. Last year I created the Big Notation Library and the Free Guitar Chord Image Library for music teachers to use when creating their own resources from scratch and both proved very popular.
I’ve been meaning to put together a set of ukulele chords for quite sometime and have finally managed to do it 🙂
Like the other collections, you can use these chord diagrams in your worksheets, presentation-style documents and Word documents. If you’d like some step-by-step instructions about creating your resources from scratch, you can take a look at my previous post Learn Just 5 Tips To Create Your Own Awesome Music Resources.
About the ukulele chord diagrams…
This collection includes commonly-used ukulele chords – there are 22 chord diagrams in total.
I’ve included a blank fretboard image so you can create your own diagrams if you wish. It’s also useful to give to students so they can write out their own chord diagrams.
Each diagram has a transparent background so you can use it on coloured documents.

Katie,
Thank you for your generosity. I have downloaded the Ukulele Chord Diagrams for use in a ukulele group planned for our local neighbourhood centre.
Kind regards,
Delphine
You’re welcome Delphine. I hope you find them useful 🙂
Wow!!! Just Wow!! Thank you 🙂
🙂 You’re very welcome Don!
LOVE these! I’m tired of writing them on the white board every day…I’ve printed out the ones I’ve taught so far (one per sheet) and will have them up on the wall tomorrow. I’d really like to see Bb, B7, the two-finger D7 (2020) and the one-finger A7 (0100) added to this collection. Muchas gracias!
Scott Gifford, uke teacher in Petaluma, CA and for the Sonoma County Library system
Hi Scott – thanks! Happy you’re finding them useful. I’ll see what I can do about making the extra symbols.
Any chance there will be a set for Baritone ukulele?
Although I’d love to add that to the list, each set is quite time-consuming and you’re the first (and only) person to ask for it! If there was a huge demand, I may reconsider!
Aren’t guitar chords the same (minus two string)?
Chris M. NLUG
Hi Chris – no ukulele chords are quite different because the strings are tuned to different pitches.
Katie: I believe Chris’ question had to do with the baritone Uke, which, being tuned to the same notes as guitar, has the same chord names, and yes, minus the 2 lower bass strings.
Thank you so much! I am actually teaching myself, but this is still super useful!
Thanks Claudia!
Aloha Katie, I just wanted to say mahalo (thank you) for sharing the Ukulele chord library. My husband and I have been teaching a free ukulele class in our community for the last 18 years. We’ve recently saved enough to purchase Photoshop to learn to do this on our own but between work, family and all other distractions, have been unable to get to it. Your UCL has saved us time and money. When I do have some extra funds, I would be happy to donate to you so that you can continue to bless others.
Thank you for your time, talent and generosity.
Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know.
Thank you so much For your generosity Katie.. I and many other students in our Uku group are visual learners….. these cords are perfect to add to our personal music sheets. Merci, from Canada…
You’re welcome! 🙂
Many thanks Katie, I’ve just found this resource. I’ve just transposed a song to perform at my local uke group and now I can pop these on my word doc. I used the blank one to make Bb (though I found it a bit tricky with my limited software options but hashed it together). Thank you so much for the collection – I’ve downloaded the guitar and the general library as well for future use!
Thanks Sid. I’m glad you’ve found it useful!
So there will be no copyright issues if I use this in a video tutorial?
That’s correct Lauren – happy for you to use the chord images in a video tutorial. If you’re able to credit me and/or link back to my website I’d appreciate it.
Hi Katie these are great. Is there a way to print them with several chords on one A4 page rather than sep pages? Traci
Hi Traci! The idea is that the images are imported into a Word doc (or Google doc or Powerpoint) so that you can arrange them however you need – then you can print it out. They’re all separate so that everyone has the flexibility to create a chord chart for whichever combination of chords they need. Hope that helps. I’m happy to explain further (and/or make a little tutorial video) inside the community if you’d like.
Thank you so much for all your hard work!
You’re welcome Tina 🙂
Thank you very much from Málaga, Spain!
Hello! I am currently developing an online blog, aiming to teach my readers how to play the ukulele in 5 weeks, as a college project. Would I be able to use these diagrams in the blog, please? I would be so very grateful!
Thank you very much!
Yes – they’re free for you to use however you like 🙂
[…] Free Ukulele Chord Diagrams for Music Teachers […]
Thank you! I’m about to start teaching my niece voice+ukulele online (through ZOOM), and these will help out a TON. I’m excited to check out your other offerings, too! Peace from Minneapolis, MN.
You’re welcome Nicole. Hope it goes well. I use Zoom a lot too – great tool!
Thanks Katie,
I live in Germany and I am a new music teacher. I was often searching for such images, that I can use, especially for a test or a worksheet. So I‘ve already had a look on your wonderful, and great images. I can‘t say how much I thank you.
Also I found out, that I can unzip the Material with my IPad, using an app named „Documents“, so may be it is useful even for other people.
Yours Nicole
Thanks Nicole!
