Improver's Course
The Improver's course is for those who have been on the Absolute Beginners course or players with a reasonable knowledge of chords, who now want to hone their skills so that they can really enjoy playing at a higher, slicker level. Maybe you want to join a Uke band? Maybe you want to do solo open mic sessions or play at folk clubs? Maybe you just want to play more confidently. The course will cover the following key challenges for improvers
This course will focus on helping you to perform songs to a higher level. Each of the six, one hour sessions will have a specific genre of music (Folk, Americana, Pop anthems etc) as it's focus. We'll explore different songs and identify how to adapt them to a ukulele. And just like the Absolute Beginners course, there will be no ( well virtually no!) music theory - it's about building confidence and having fun.
All song sheets and chord charts are provided. You just need to bring your Ukulele and Tuner.
- Improving rhythm and syncopation
- Slicker chord changes
