The workshops are designed for players that have knowledge of basic chords and can strum a steady rhythm. While each ukulele player's ability is different, our teachers will present a variety of techniques of varying difficulty with the intent that all players will find some benefit and enjoyment from the workshops.

Brook will demonstrate several different techniques for generating rhythms beyond the standard strum. It's a mix of picking and strumming that gives you the freedom to play lively tunes with less effort, and slower tunes with more detail and texture. On the left hand side, he will show you some useful chord variations that can be used to suggest a melody or reinforce a vocal line. These tricks should make your playing more interesting to hear and more fun to play.

"A Little Bit of This and A Little Bit of That" with Mark Gutierrez

Mark will explain how to go beyond your basic chord fingerings using chord inversions. Learn how chord inversions are used to play songs in different registers, easily provide appropriate melody notes, and make even long single chord passages much more interesting. By exploring the major scale and basic chord construction, Mark will show how to create, play and apply this useful knowledge into your everyday playing.

Victoria will not only show you how to remodel your kitchen, but she will also show you how to get playful on the ukulele with the use of different hammer and muting techniques. She will, of course, use her song examples to get you strumming, hammering and muting along.
