Times flies when you are having fun, and I'm SURE you are having fun.
Continue practicing While strolling through the part - notes and chords including the Triplet strum. We'll play that in class next week.
We will skip Dance of the Hours for now, although on the resources page I have posted the sheet giving you the shapes for playing the Uke II part, both notes at the same time. It'as pretty fun so give it a try. Listen to the recording so you can get an idea of how it sounds. I also enourage you to work on the Uke I, which is very good practice for sight reading in the key of Bb.
Next week we will also play Oft in the Stilly Night. Please practice the chord changes, getting them smooth and lovely. Two strums per measure. And pratice the notes focusing on the getting rhythm right and getting a smooth sustained sound. Do not lift fingers too soon to get the most sound out of the notes.
Moving on to March (pg 42). Practice the chords and Uke II but focus on the Uke I, getting the rhythms right and practicing the 8th note runs up and down. A slow version in on the resources page.
Although we will not use a flat pick on either of the new songs for this week, continue practicing your other songs with it because next week we will introduce tremolo flatpicking.
Yes, we will meet in Veterans Day which is Next Monday. See you then.
The clock in the studio is still working......
