LIL REV: Workshop - 9:30-10:30 Boat House - $15
12 Essential Strums and Strokes: Lift yourself out of the down-up, down-up doldrums with this super-fun, great class. 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 Onward and upward: Beyond C, F and G: To go upward and onward from beginner status you need to begin to master the chords in the common ukulele keys of C, G, D, A and F. Starting to poke around with up the neck chords and barring is also a good step. We'll look at strums that go a little beyond those "basic" ones that are so common on the internet. A few left and right-hand techniques to add to our trick bag plus a little good, old fashioned, musical literacy, playing by ear and easy music theory and we are off into a whole new level! I'll be your guide on this journey onward and upward. Prepare for take off! 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. Have you been wondering what all the attention the ukulele has been getting lately is all about? Here's an opportunity to try one! In this workshop you’ll learn some strumming and a few songs to get you started. You don't need any prior knowledge of music to be able to play the songs you'll learn during this workshop. Don't have a ukulele? No problem. There will be loaners available for you to try, but bring a uke if you can. Ando Anderson has been teaching and performing for many years and loves getting people started on the inherently playful ukulele. *FREE* Instructional booklets will be available on first-come, first-served basis. You may print out your copy ahead of time HERE. To guarantee a place in a workshop, please REGISTER HERE. Registrations for the FREE Beginners class appreciated.
