Chord voicing - make your ukulele sing!

Friday 29 October 2021
There are many ways to play any chord and they are not all created equal! They can change how a song feels just as strum patterns do! As a group we will dissect one song and witness how different voicing of chords brings unique flavour and feel, enhancing the experience. Now I know if you looked at every chord and their different shape it may seem very daunting, however just remember the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time!

Strummin’ the Beat

Saturday 25 September 2021
This workshop is for people wishing to enhance their strumming techniques. Whilst learning and practising chords is of course very important chords, many people don’t pay much attention to their strumming hand. Most learn two or maybe three basic strums patterns and simply leave it at that. The ukulele however is not just a stringed instrument, it is also a percussive instrument, providing the beat and the emphasis for songs, which adds colour and interest to the music.
