This introductory class will concentrate on traditional chord progressions, vamps, turnarounds and a little bit of the history and legend behind the ukulele. Several tunes will be introduced with the intent of mastering at least one during our time together. We will emphasize maximizing playing time, keeping talking and lecturing to a minimum. Transpositions will be available to more advanced players that decide to further challenge themselves. The ultimate goal of the course is to give each player the skills they need to motivate them in their own ukulele practice.
