UKULELE FOR BEGINNERS with Clara Wiseman
Our Ukulele for Beginners course for adults takes place in the cosy private dining room upstairs at the fabulous YALM in Norwich City Centre. Perfect for post-work musical fun, and drinks can be ordered from and delivered direct to the room!
It's suitable for absolute beginners, and you'll learn everything you need to know to get started with your uke, from tuning, to strumming and making your first chords.
The course covers:
Tuning your uke: Learn the essential skill of tuning your ukulele
Strumming techniques: Master the art of strumming to create different rhythms
Develop timing skills: Work on improving this fundamental skill
Making your first chords: Discover the basic chords that form the foundation of countless songs
Reading tab: play simple melodies using tablature notation
Following song sheets: Develop the ability to read and play along with song sheets
Playing well-known songs together: Put your newly acquired skills to use by playing popular tunes as a group
Song choices can be tailored to the interests of the group, but think pop songs from the likes of Blondie, Rag'n'Bone Man, ABBA, Elvis, Undertones, George Ezra... any style of music can be played on the ukulele!
Bring your own uke or borrow one of ours.
There are up to 12 participants in a group.
