Beginning Ukulele Patricia Bolen Classroom Room
This class is for beginners, those who have never played a ukulele or for those who want a basic brush-up. We will take you through how to hold the ukulele, how to strum, and how to play some easy chords. At the end of the session, you will be able to play several fun songs. Loaner ukuleles available.
Intermediate Ukulele Debbie Littlejohn Sanctuary
Playing the Blues in the Key of A
Can’t get enough of the blues? You and your ukulele can make very cool music together using just three chords to play favorite blues classics like “Kansas City,” “High-Heeled Sneakers,”and “Hound Dog” with style. We will practice the basic 12-bar blues structure and explore ways to ramp up your sound using a blues shuffle strum and a few tasty turn-arounds for soprano ukulele.
Advanced Ukulele Bruce Cowan Social Hall
Playing the Great Half-Remembered Songs
Working on songs from the mid-twentieth century is a fun way to learn musical concepts and ukulele skills. Bruce will provide sheet music with standard notation, tablature, and chord forms for both ukulele and baritone ukulele. The class is meant for intermediate and advanced players who can confidently change chords in the common keys (C, G, F, D, A) and who might be ready to try playing melodies and new chord forms.
