Yes! Uke’N Play the Ukulele: Level 2
Is your ukulele feeling a little left out these days? Take the strumming patterns from Level 1 and turn them into songs for Christmas, the classroom, and the campfire.
In Level 2 you will…
- Master Strumming. This skill is said to be the most difficult for beginning ukulele players. We’ll take a deep dive into mastering the 3 basic strumming patterns from Level 1. Once you understand the theory behind it, you’ll be sounding like a pro in no time.
- Review Chords You Already Know. Repetition is the mother of skill. Using exercises to build your muscle memory, your fingers will remember where to go before you know it.
- Transpose Songs to Fit Your Voice. Do some songs feel too high or too low for you to sing? With a simple trick you’ll learn how to change the chords in any song to fit your vocal range.
- Fill Up Your Repertoire. New songs mean new motivation to practice. You’ll be inspired to find time as you learn songs for Christmas, the classroom, and your next campfire. You might want to schedule yourself for “open mic night” as soon as you can.
