  Subtitle: 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 as well as in solo contexts. And, a few finger-picking patterns will be introduced. Does this all sound like fun or what!? Alumni are always welcome to register.

  Pre-requisite: And intermediate-level course and familiarity with the Nashville Numbering System.

  Pre-requisite: An Intermediate-level class or former Advanced “Unison-Kerby” ukulele course.
