WORKSHOP INFO- taught by Aaron

Tablature and Left Hand Techniques
Tablature is a great way to learn music quickly and develop your skills. We will start with basic tab reading before we move on to some new left hand techniques: hammer ons, pull offs and slides.  We will work on incorporating these ideas into your music as well as in our tune, “Henry’s Boogie.”

Fingerstyle Ukulele
Arrangements using fingerstyle techniques can make the ukulele sound like a whole "orchestra," with melody and accompaniment played at the same time!  Students can expect to work on learning a picking pattern, incorporating the melody into the picking pattern and adjusting the picking pattern to suit other songs.  We will add a few extra pieces at the end so you have plenty of fingerstyle homework.

Uke West Online Workshop

In response to the COVID lockdowns back in 2020 my friends in Calgary created and are still running a wonderfully safe and welcoming online ukulele community called UkeWest. Check out their introduction webpage: https://www.ukewest.com/introduceukewest-2023

I'll be instructing at the May 13 workshop in their year-long online festival. The festival itself, featuring 8 international instructors, is the main benefit of membership in 2023, and is well worth the entire price of just $75 CAD.
