We have been following a 10-week course available on You Tube which commences from the very beginning, how to tune, how to hold the ukulele, and basic chords. We even learnt “You are my Sunshine”
The following sessions have been a review of the first week, followed by learning one of the strumming patterns. We are also learning to use our chords to play some songs, it is so good to hear the group playing and singing together. We will be learning further strumming patterns in the coming weeks and when to use these patterns.
We have also found that the best way to learn the ukulele is to have regular practice sessions at home, where we can learn to move from one chord to another with ease, without looking at the strings.
