From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flea Market Music is an American company which publishes and sells
ukulele -related books and music.
[1]
Flea Market Music was founded in 1992 by
Jim Beloff and his wife, Liz Beloff, to publish music books for the ukulele community.
[2]
[3] A guitarist for many years, Jim bought a used Martin ukulele at a
flea market and later left his job with
Billboard Magazine to make a full-time career of promoting the ukulele.
[4]
[5]
The company name combines the meaning of ukulele in Hawaiian, 'jumping flea', and the purchase of Beloff's first ukulele at the
Rose Bowl Flea Market .
[6]
Flea Market Music has published a wide variety of ukulele instructional books (distributed by the
Hal Leonard Corporation ) and DVDs as well as CDs of recorded ukulele music.
[6] As of May 2002, over 600,000 books have been sold. The company's products are sold through retail and online.
[7]
Beloff and his wife, Liz, perform and give workshops at festivals and other musical events to promote ukuleles and the Flea Market Music products.
[8] In 2014 they were guests on a WNPR radio show with ukulelist
Jake Shimabukuro , discussing ukuleles and ukulele music.
