Thank You all for being part of the first experimental Ukestra. ​I hope you enjoy playing some of the songs we learned with friends. I will let you know soon what things will be offered in the New Year. 

I am attaching the Ukulele Chord Forms and Fretboard page (which I love) on the resource page.
For those who are interested in further understanding, the book I recommend is "Understanding Ukulele Chords" by Robbert van Renesse.

Moving towards the holidays...

We will have class next week. I am assuming that on Monday you all won't have all scattered for the holiday yet. 
The good news: We won't play Do You Know the Way to San Jose again (sorry Connie). But those who love it now have this song to play at home. 
Next week we will play Winter Wonderland. Think about our class playing this for the BUG Jam on Dec 3. Parts are:
Uke I -Glenda, Brian, Carolyn, Carla
Uke II - Connie, Louise, Katrina
Uke III - Carol, Michael, 
Chords - Charley
If I missed you, or you weren't in class, pick a part to work on. 
The helpful diagram that Charley made for notes from the 7th to the 12th fret is posted on the resources page. 
Also Practice Bring Me Sunshine (pdf on resources page).  If you choose, use the closed chords so that you can make the key change without having to use different shapes.  Otherwise, using the first position chords is just fine. Remember to work on your swing strum. There is a good video by Gerald Ross illustrating this strum on the resources page. 
Have a Great Week-End: Be thankful for your many blessings.

Next Week we'll work on Do You Know the Way to San Jose again. It has interesting chords and a good riff. 
We'll also work on a Christmas song that the Orchestra plays; "Winter Wonderland". You can print Winter Wonderland from the Resources Page  There are 3 parts plus chords.  We can decide out parts next week, so play through them and see what you prefer. 
***The Bellingham Ukulele Orcherstra will be presenting a FREE holiday concert at the Downtown Library on (Friday) Dec 2, at 5:00pm, AND at the Ferndale Library on (Saturday) Dec 10 at 3:00pm
