The Dancing Bohemian School of Uke will once again open its doors to lovers of ukulele old and new.
Play out! Sing out! Let's make some noise... I think it's fair to say that I've spent more time preparing for the classes than I have blogging.
Classes were rewarding this session. Class sizes were smaller, and there's a plus to that. Some new faces as well as some long time friends and grizzled veterans. One more Intermediate class and then we'll be into summer. I'm hoping folks pick up the uke from time to time, engage that muscle memory, and become comfortable enough to experience the excitement that comes when you discover your inner musicality. Introductory Class:
March 28 Makeup class April 4 Hootenanny Experienced Class: March 22 Makeup class March 29 Hootenanny Getting ready for another fun, action packed round of uke lessons. It looks like two really nice classes are taking shape: one for beginning students and one for more experienced ukers. Now that I live in the area again I find it easier to accommodate folks' schedules. In that spirit, I have instituted a policy whereby any student can have up to 2 one-on-one lessons* to make up for the occasional class they have to miss.
So get ready to strum and sing! * I imagine there's a chance we could group a number of absentees into a make-up class here and there. We'll see how that all goes. Graham and Peter jamming with fellow Lions...How proud am I? Woo hoo!
Can you believe that it's already week 6 for the advanced class and week 5 for the new students? We've covered a fair amount of ground, I've sometimes pushed a bit too hard, but we're having fun, right? Right? The intention was to cover fewer tunes, but to go deeper into the tunes, the techniques and a bit of theory. We'll further our exploration of fingerpicking in our advanced class, and we'll apply our strums to new songs in the beginning class. Nice work, everyone!
