In this 4 session flex class, beginning ukulele students will learn to play "Happy Birthday" both as a solo song to play for friends and family and also as an accompaniment for people singing. No prior knowledge is required, but it is recommended that students take my "Wipe Out" class first, where I explain how to read ukulele tablature (tabs). The students need to already have their ukuleles tuned to the notes G, C, E and A.

In the first class, students will learn the basics of playing the ukulele--how to hold their ukuleles and play these basic chords: F, Bb and C7.

In the 2nd class, students will review the 3 chords learned and practice playing the jazz waltz strum (Down Up, Up Down).

In the 3rd class, students will learn to finger-pick the melody to "Happy Birthday"

 In the 4th class, we review both the accompaniment and finger-picking version of "Happy Birthday".

Since practice is an important part of learning an instrument, it is recommended that students practice 15 minutes, 4 days per week for a total of 60 minutes practice per week. Practice logs will be provided.

Happy Birthday is a song that every ukulele student should be able to play as they celebrate the birthdays of their family members and friends!
