Play with other people have fun AND learn!

This level is perfect for you, if you have completed the Beginner I course, or been playing for a little while on your own, and can strum a simple tune fluidly with basic chords (C,F,G7,Am,E7, maybe are still learning to do Bb). You can move from one chord to another with ease, and play a melody reading simple tablature (the easy number system to read a melody line). Read "what level am I?"

You will learn: to play chords associated with the C Major Scale,(and maybe G, F or D) simple picking patterns, and variety of strum feels. As well as, how to build a major scale, fret board recognition, simple chord progressions, simple chord melody, 2 or 3 part ensemble playing, and a variety of tunes from a repertoire of Jazz, Blues, Country, Classical, Folk & contemporary tunes. There is something for everyone!

We have a resident luthier who is available to fit strap buttons on your Ukulele, change strings or do any repairs or modifications you may require.

All you need for a fun (North Van) time playing the Ukulele!
