We will use snippets of some well known tunes to demonstrate how scales are applied to create melody.

UKESTRA MADNESS!
Sunday 16 March
3pm-4pm

Ensemble Playing
Participants explore a 4-part arrangement of one song. Each arrangement is targeted at a specific skill level (beginners, happy strummers, pickers and U-bass). After an initial introduction to the piece, participants 'choose' a part they wish to learn based on their ability and interest. They will then have a 40-minute intensive session with their allocated 'group leader' to learn their part. After the 'intensive session' all groups will come back together to play the song in its entirety.​
