Break out the Hawaiian shirts and leis: kids ages 6-16 will be strumming their way through group ukulele classes at The Music Store beginning June 28 and running through July 26. Longtime guitar and ukulele teacher Cory Fornier will be the instructor.Â
The class will focus on topics such as how to play chords, how to change between chords quickly and smoothly, strumming and arpeggio patterns for the rhythm hand, how to play in different time signatures and how to read and interpret various styles of sheet music and music charts.
Those who have never played the ukulele as well as those who are already playing some chords and even some songs will benefit from the classes.
More advanced topics may include how to learn to sing and strum simultaneously, how to play melodies on the ukulele and how to transpose songs into appropriate keys for the student’s personal singing voice.
The cost for the four classes is $20. Information: the-music-store.com
