On Thursday 29th September 2022, we introduce songs in Mandarin Chinese, to give you a taste of pentatonic songs that are easy to accompany. It’s a cultural appreciation session, giving you a peek into accompanying Chinese songs with the ukulele or fingerpicking Chinese melodies with the ukulele.

On Thursday 18th August 2022, we will give several workshops in Zoom, all free. Join us at 3 pm EDT (8 pm BST) for an hour of learning and fun. Wear something loose for physical exercise. Bring your ukulele and sunglasses as usual.

3:00 – 3:20 pm Jen Bross (NJ), certified personal trainer, will lead us in a physical workout, giving us a taste of her fitness programme in Zoom. This will warm you up for what is to come.

3:20 – 3:40 pm Anne Ku (MA) and Bruce Boreham (IT) will share a few tips and tricks from the popular “Voice over Uke” class, on how to find your vocal range so that you can sing any song.

3:40 – 4:00 pm Paul Malaspina (GA) will talk about video collaborations and other enhancements:

1. Acapella Collaboration: showing the general process from first part to a finished project.   
2. Using “voice over” in iMovie to add music to an iMovie video or slide show.    This is a simple way to add one’s own ukulele (or other) performance to an iMovie project.
