It teaches the 12 most common genre based strums and gives one song sample for each (incl. reggae, calypso, blues, Irish, doo-wop, and more). Open to all levels. JEFFREY WEINBERGER: Workshop - 10:45-11:45 Boat House -- $15 Solid Strums and Neat Tricks: In this workshop, Jeff Weinberger breaks down how to be a reliable, steady strummer, solo or in a group. You'll learn to convey the feel of the music and add life to it. He also helps you add little flourishes and effects here and there to take humdrum strums and transform them into passionate rhythms! Continuing beginner to Intermediate level. LIL REV: Workshop - 12:00-1:00 Boat House - $15 Intros, Endings, Turnarounds and Vamps: Tired of always starting a song with its Tonic Chord? Wish you could set up, introduce a song with a little more pizzaz, class, shmaltz? This class teaches a fabulous array of intros and endings that can be used across a wide variety of different styles from Tin Pan Alley and Blues to Rock, Pop and Motown. This class will teach you what to play before a song begins and what to play when a song ends. Must know basic chords and be willing to venture up the neck a tad and or learn a few new chord forms. ANDO ANDERSON: Workshop - 1:15-2:15 Boat House - *FREE* Introduction to the Ukulele - Designed for "Never touched a uke before" to beginners.
