Highly recommended. This year was my first, I will be back and I will bring more people with me next year!
This class outlines the process that I use as an arranger to build exciting works that are both fun to play and exciting to listen to. We’ll cover vocal harmonies, using the ear to find lead parts and harmony parts, basic soloing skills, and strumming. A low G is highly recommended for this class. Attendees should be familiar with singing the strings or have previously taken Harmony at Your Fingertips.

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.
