yr Blues Uke
SWING’N YR BLUES UKE
Building upon the Ukulele fundamentals learned in 'Booster Uke', we are now ready to learn how to apply this laterally within the Blues genre.
Become the player you really want to be!
Drawing on classic early Blues, we will learn to work with chord melody,
riffs, rolls, basic solos & vamps, within the repetitive Blues Form.
We will learn how to support each other to sing and play lead lines,
as well as perform as an Ensemble.
PLEASE NOTE:
Swinging yr Blues Uke is not a beginner’s course.
It builds on fundamental practice within Ukulele Booster
You’re not alone when you practice at home!
There is a dedicated Portal for each weeks material on this website, enabling you to practice along with me and listen to Youtubes of the songs!

Here’s some Practice tips :
* Pick a couple of times during your week when your mind is fresh & commit to them in your diary.
* Set up your Music stand with your Booster Uke book , a Metronome, a Pencil, so you’re ready to go. Download the free metronome app – Tempo Perfect to whichever device suits you best
* Write up the Practice Log page from class to remind yourself what you’re practicing & tick it off!
* Log the metronome speed you are working, so you can notch it up slowly
* Keep your ukulele out of it’s case to wink at you every time you go past – ” hey pick me up !”
Alongside a couple of serious devoted weekly sessions, it’s great to pick up your uke frequently, like you would your lovely cat, and give it a few strokes. Maybe even bang out a C pentatonic scale on the way to the bathroom.
Get your wee box of joy into your hands as much as possible!!
