Brief synopsis
This course has been specially structured to enable students to effectively learn basic ukelele chords and various rhythm/strum patterns. In so doing, they then render their voices to blend with the ukulele At every session, the students will apply what they have learnt with a selected song. The course repertoire is an interesting mix of local Singaporean songs, Asean folk songs and Hawaiin favourites.
This course includes classical guitar techniques and ensemble skills like sight-reading, positional melodic playing, tremolos, pizzicatos and staccatos. Guitarists will cultivate and develop a sense of musical understanding among fellow players in an ensemble performing a wide genre of musical styles of classical, jazz, Latin, popular and Asean music.
