Learn how to figure out rhythmic patterns and how to apply them to ukulele building from the ground up. Starting off with a firm foundational strum is the first goal while adding new techniques throughout. We'll tackle how to identify rhythms and the most logical ways to play them on the instrument for efficiency of playing. Never ask for the strumming pattern again and learn some new right hand techniques along the way. While we will work o some more advanced rhythmic concepts this workshop is accessible for anyone that can play three chord and do a basic down and up strum. Building up from the basics weโ€™ll go through three songs and figure out together how to make the groove.

A workshop unlocking a beautiful Ernsest Kaโ€™ai tune. Weโ€™ll learn three distinct right hand patterns from the first virtuoso ukulele players: Ernest Kโ€™ai. Learn to apply new rhythms as well as textures to this tiny instrument and walk away with an entire solo piece under your fingertips

Learn not just hundreds of new chords but how to build chords all over the fingerboard. Understanding how chords are built and beginning to recognize common progressions is key to furthering yourself on the instrument. In this workshop weโ€™ll look at how to build and modify chords, basic voice-leading as well as some of the most common chord progressions in western music

Letโ€™s strum some fun old tunes together! In this workshop we will break down basic right hand patterns to find that classic swing strum and then take those concepts and apply them to three different songs. Confidence in basic strumming and open position chords is all you need to get started.

Breaking down the dazzling right hand techniques of the great George Formby. In this workshop we'll learn the building blocks of the Formby style including the split stroke, his unique approach to triples as well as the fan strum. Even if you've never heard of Formby this is a fun way to challenge your right hand's rhythmic sensibilities.
