The Practice of Practicing

Are you stuck in a rut? Looking for a new way to practice? This class invites participants to try something new to shake up the status quo of your singing, playing and practice.

We will work on vocal and ukulele warmups that involve standing, moving, yelling, whispering, clapping, snapping, laughing, to see how our playing changes when our mind is challenged in new ways. All levels of experience are welcome, but we will use basic chords and play standing up and moving around.

Skill Levels

Novice: A student who perhaps has never picked up a ukulele before.
Beginner: A student at this level is brand-new to the ukulele. He/she has perhaps learned one to three chords but stops in-between chord changes to move the fingers to the next location.
Advanced/Confident Beginner: A student at this level knows a handful of chords and can move from one chord to another without pausing. Student may have trouble with, say, the B-flat chord shape. Student has learned a strum or two and/or a finger pattern for picking.
Intermediate: A student can hold a steady rhythm and is competent with a variety of basic chords. Understands simple chord progressions, can sing and strum at the same time, and learns chords to simple tunes fairly quickly.
Advanced: A student at this level can hear I, IV, and V chords, has mastered some chord inversions, knows there is life above the fifth fret, and has been there with barre or 4-fingered closed chords. Plays lead and backup easily with others and keeps steady rhythm.
