Curt Sheller - Uke Player, Jazz Guitarist, Author, Graphic Designer, Constant Web Site Tweaker

On the web since 1992!

1Welcome to the main site of Curt Sheller and Curt Sheller Publications. A small (me, myself and I) independent, by choice, publishing company catering to the needs of musicians, guitar players and ukulele players worldwide with the resources and information needed to develop as a musician. Curt Sheller Publications was created by Curt Sheller (me) in 1995 and has been on the web since. I have over 40 years of playing experience and I have been involved in private music education for the past 20 years.

With my re-introduction to the ukulele after a 20 year break and taking advantage of my jazz guitar skills, I began pursuing the potential of the ukulele. Researching the field I saw very little material organized at a level that really worked. I have developed an international reputation as a ukulele expert having written over 30 books on the subject of ukulele and over 10 books on guitar.

You can checkout my Music, Art, Publishing and Programming bios at: Bios. Have work a lot of different hats over my adult working career - music and art has always been a big part of it.

Updates and new information posted just about everyday.
If I'm not teaching or gigging I'm working on the web site.

Here is what Peter Rhee said about my (Curt Sheller) books.

"Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books!" - Peter Rhee
