Our Saturday morning jam gets you up bright and early to start your day right - with the ukulele! 

This jam will feature selections from Petey Mack's famous songbook (Feb 2023 version). We encourage you to utilize the jam-specific songbook if you do not want to download or print Petey's full book. The chord sheets will be projected during the jams. As always, jam-specific books will be distributed electronically prior to the festival.

  • 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.
