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.
