PUG Book 3 Class
Every Other Wednesday Night, 7:30 - 9 pm on Zoom
Sep 27 - Dec 6 (6 weeks) CDN $175
This class is for those who have a fair amount of experience reading music notation for the ukulele, can play in a number of keys and read chromatic melodies. We will be using book 3 of "Ukulele in the Classroom" as well as supplemental handouts. We'll be exploring some new and fun material, some new keys, and getting more comfortable with sight-reading music for ukulele. We will also be working on playing in a group, exploring dynamics, tone and practice techniques. And of course there will be lots of fun singing and strumming as well.
