Waltz in Progress
A collection of waltzes for solo ukulele written by Choan Gálvez
I’ve written a set of pieces for solo ukulele titled Waltz in Progress, inspired by the collections published by the great guitarists of the romantic era. Each of these waltzes is named after some ukulele player I appreciate.
Enjoy this project’s videos on YouTube (subscribe to my channel), Instagram, and Facebook.
Update: You can now pre-order the Waltz in Progress book, print or digital.
All these waltzes’ tablatures are published on Choan’s Patreon site.
Patreon is a service that allows people to directly support musicians and artists.

Demo tablature
Al Wood, from Ukulele Hunt, took me as a guest to publish the tablature for Larry’s, the fifth of the waltzes.
