Beyond Beginner Debbie Littlejohn Back Classroom
Ready to move ahead with your ukulele playing? You know your C, F, and G chords and can mostly strum in rhythm. In this class you will try out some new chords and strums. We’ll play songs that help you practice making smoother chord changes while you sing. Let’s have fun making music!

Learn to play simple Irish Jigs and Reels
A ukulele intermediate class designed for players who have a solid foundation in basic chords and strumming patterns, focusing on expanding their repertoire, learning to play a wider variety of songs with greater musicality, often including popular tunes with more intricate arrangements.
In this class, you will re-learn to read ukulele tablature and play a simple chord melody. Low G is preferred for the finger picking.
Intermediate Ukulele Mike Johnson Sanctuary
I Can’t Sing In That Key – How To Transpose Chords
This class is tailored for the advanced/intermediate player.
[Please bring a pencil or pen to this class]
Not only will we learn several methods to transpose chords (so you can sing in a key that fits your vocal range), we will also learn how to use a mirliton to supplement our singing and playing. We will learn two new songs using all the fun tools available to you. Handouts, song sheets and fun tools will be provided. SCT and Baritone uke players are all welcome. You should be comfortable playing chord progressions in several keys, but most importantly, be willing to have fun and maybe learn some new stuff.
