Close Encounters……..

10/22/2015

Very The famous "intervals" of Close Encounters of the Third Kind are: Start A, up 1 full step (B), down a major 3rd (G), down an octave (low G), up a 5th (D) In although in the movie they start on Bb but it goes to low for us to play it on the uke.

​Good work on Weigenlied. It is challenging to keep the two rhythms of Uke I an Uke II together. Also….. Marning Has Broken was really lovely. Enjoy playing this song for yourself, friends, family. Don't Be shy!
For Next Week:
Continue your practice on Weigenlied, We'll play that again in class
Practice the F scale (part 1) and exercises on page 28 and 29. 
Johnny on the Woodpile
Au clair de la lune (slow versions of these two song on the resources page)

I have also posted a couple of F scale "quizzes" on the resource page for you to use to practice the notes.

NOTICES: 
* I will be out of town the week of Nov 2, and so we will meet Oct 27 and then skip a week and resume Nov 10.  (This is a previously planned to New Orleans with some friends…because I have never been there and it's "on the bucket list").

* NOV 14 - BUG Ukulele Mini-Fest - Fun for Everyone! Check out the BUG website for details.
* Dec 5, It is a tradition that my beginning classes play a song (as a big group) at the BUG Christmas Jam/Party.  We will play Up on the Housetop. Don't worry, we'll practice and it will be fun. Mark the Date.
* Dec 8, last class. Book 2 class will start in early Feb.
