Start date: 17th Sep 2024

Time: 18:00 - 19:30

Cost: £94

Day: Wednesday

Duration: 10 weeks

Tutor: Alison Lyon

Course code: 25AU109

For players who have previously completed a Level 1 and one or more terms of my Level 2 course with me, or gained a similar amount of experience elsewhere. ie. they have the experience listed above, AND ALSO have some experience of damping, chunking, and some short repeating finger-picking patterns. The course will build on existing skills and will be tailored to the students enrolling, depending on their experience and interests - we might include, for example, combined picking-and-strumming techniques, filling in gaps in our chord knowledge, alternative chord shapes, playing further up the neck of the ukulele, moveable barre chords shapes, some funkier rhythms such as the "Bo Diddley" Beat, Bossa Nova, etc, and using tabature notation.

The course is led by Alison Lyon, of Drums Agogo.

Alison now brings this fresh and friendly approach to the ukulele, which she has played since 2013. She has taught ukulele in schools, and devised the “Ukulele jukebox” part of the course as an instant-fun workshop project which has been enjoyed by everyone from WI groups to Scouts and Guides.
