2 years and lots of hard work, frustration, laughs (and maybe tears), learning, and music. You should be very proud of yourselves for perservering and making it through, and for being brave enough to make mistakes and grow from the process.
It's fun to think back to the beginning of your class when you all were a bunch of strangers, and probably a little scared, and realize that through the process we have grown to be a new circle of friends. My closest friends are always people that I play music with. There is a special bond just because of the nature of music and how it goes straight to the heart.  
I hope you do keep playing. You will now be on my Ukulele in the Classroom "graduates" list and I hope to play a lot more music with all of you. 
You are all UKESTARS !
Thank You so much for the wonderful gifts. I love love love the glass garden art piece, and it just so happens that Jobird is my favorite jewelry maker. 
FYI: I am still working on the dratted printer problem but I plan to print the certificate and mail them to you.....soon.
Uke ON!

Adoration and more.....

Next week will be our last class! Hard to believe after almost 2 years. 
This week we worked on Give My Regards to Broadway and Adoration. We also talked about playing major scales starting on the G string. In addition we looked at a chart of closed Ukulele chords and talked about that a bit. 
Next week We'll play once again Give My Regards to Broadway and Adoration. Try the Harmony part. The rhythm is the as the melody so it may seem easier to learn.
To finish up we'll do something fun (by special request) 12 bar blues playing.... with the addition of some turnarounds intros and endings. 
Since this is our last class, plan to stay a wee bit late if possible just so we can celebrate your accomplishment.
