Intervals - thirds galore !

Really very nice work on Las Chaparreras. It began to seem like you didn't even have to think about the tricky rhythm. If seems like you were just feeling the rhythm of the song. And the pull-offs are getting very good also.
Then we got into intervals - how to play harmonic thirds (majors and minors) on the ukulele. Practice the scales with thirds on the page that I passed out (use the tabs to help you work through them) I am hoping that, by the end of the week, it will begin to make more sense. 
Then….. working on playing Jeu Jeu (pg 58) both the Uke I and Uke II at the same time. You will notice that the interval between the parts is a third. 
That's it. Have fun with it and enjoy the sound of playing the scales with harmony… all by yourself!



We are fortunate that the Ukulele duo Ruby and Smith from Vancouver have agreed to be guest at the Bellingham Ukulele Orchestra concert on May21. Ruby (Daphne Roubini) would like to give a workshop on the Sunday following our concert (May 22). It need not be large and can be at a house but we need for someone to host it. Please let me know if you would be willing to do that or of you know of someone who would.  I will take care of the promotion for it.
