  Raising the Level of Musicianship
  

  We will review the uke-friendly keys, perfect the “calypso” strum, use tablature notation, and further train our playing-by-ear skills. Lots of strumming while singing songs will be practiced in large and small groups. And a few finger-picking patterns will be introduced. Does this all sound like fun or what!? Alumni are always welcome to register.

  Prerequisite: A Beginner and Beginner Plus class course and familiarity with the Nashville Numbering System. These will also be reviewed for all learners.
