Playing melody together while others play the accompaniment. Playing arrangements. Sometimes on the day you will be asked to play something you have not done before. There will always be something simple you can do. You can choose to a certain extent the level of challenge you want to try. In order to ensure that you make the best possible progress on your course, you will have regular and detailed feedback from your tutor, in a constructive and supportive environment.

During the course you will develop additional musical & technical skills and these may go beyond the basic learning outcomes for more experienced players. For more advanced players it is intended that Improvisation and solo ukulele pieces will be explored.

Ideally you will be able to play from TAB but this will be covered in the first couple of weeks if you can not yet do so.
