- 3:00 pm: Utilizing the Ukulele as a Melody Instrument. For many music students ‘learning to play music’ is defined as being able to play what they sing – the melody line! The first session in this three-part series addresses this aspect of music-making.
- 4:00 pm: Utilizing the Ukulele as a Harmony Instrument. In session two, you’ll participate along with a demonstration group as you learn to play chords and examine the relationships between melody and harmony - and beat and rhythm.
- 5:00 pm: Using the Ukulele to Teach and Develop Choral Singing. In session three, you’ll learn to use the ukulele to help create vocal harmonies and develop two and three-part vocal arrangements.
