Ukulele Orchestra - Intermediate/Advanced

Course Code: ARTS2443

This course has been designated as an intermediate/advanced level. These courses may branch into more advanced technical skills, so a minimum of beginner level of knowledge and skill is required. Please read course descriptions as they may list some skills you need to participate in the course instruction.
Minimum requirements: intermediate and advanced players should have completed Ukulele Orchestra - Beginners & Baritone or a similar class and be able to read and play from written scores in the keys of C and F.
This is a unique opportunity to develop your ukulele skills in an ensemble setting. Together with the companion "Beginners and Baritone" course, explore a wide variety of music with arrangements that feature easy and more challenging parts to accommodate a wide range of playing experience. Spend part of each day in your class learning parts and refining details, and part of each day working with the companion class as a full ensemble. You will be using written scores/tablature as well as learning some songs by ear, playing melodic lines and harmony parts with some strumming, fingerpicking and singing. The goal is to prepare and perform an end-of-week concert for the enjoyment of the summer school community. You are required to bring a tenor, concert or soprano ukulele in good working order. Baritones may enrol in the companion "Beginners and Baritone" course. Arrangements are for ukuleles in C tuning. A ukulele strung with a low "G" string is required. Low "G" strings will be available for purchase for those who need them.
