Ukulele Workshop for Beginners at Historic Lower Mills
Hosted by Ukulele Union of Boston
Details
• What we'll do
There are no ukulele jam sessions on Tuesday evenings so we're going to try something new. If you're a beginner, you'd want to get your right hand accustomed to automatically setting the rhythm with strumming patterns so that you can focus your left hand on switching chords.
After warming up we will focus on a few songs that will give you the opportunity to learn to switch chords and vary your strumming patterns. These are songs that have the same chord progressions that repeat throughout the song.
$20 cash payment on arrival.
Please message me to introduce yourself if you have not attended my previous workshops.
Pre-requisites:
-You already know how to tune and hold your ukulele.
-You know how to do the downstroke and upstroke with both the flesh and nail of your fingers.
-You can play the following chords: Am7, C, Cmaj7, C7, F, and G7.
Unique opportunity to play music in the former administrative building of the oldest chocolate factory in America. Walter Baker Artist Lofts has a permanent exhibit by the artists in residence. The common room (with temporary exhibit) is on the right-hand side of the front entrance. This is a grassroots initiative to introduce the joy of ukulele to this part of Boston. Location is visible from the Milton-T station.
