Jazz It Up with Mark Baker!

Details

As part of the Kimo Hussey and Friends Ukulele Event, join the incomparable Mark Baker for a very special workshop!

Are you ready to Jazz it up? In this workshop you will learn how to play Little Grass Shack using a few basic Jazz Chords. We will also focus on the proper strum technique to create a cool Jazz feel. You will also learn how to play a song in 5/4 time. Turn the World Around is a great song made popular by Harry Belefonte. The strum pattern can be a bit tricky but once you HEAR it then the FUN begins. The more people the better it sounds, so I look forward to seeing and meeting you.

Please Pay At The Door - CASH ONLY!
