2022-09-20 18:30 - 2022-10-11 20:00
Improvisation Level 2 starts late September (Level 3 mid October)
Have you ever wanted to know how to improvise on the Ukulele or how to get more expression and feel on what you already do! We offer three courses on improvisation; from beginners (Level 1), to intermediate (Level 2) and advanced (Level 3). We offer these courses online using Zoom so you can take these courses from home and improve your “chops” in privacy! They run for 4 or 5 weeks and are designed to give you the What, When and How of improvisation. What notes to play, when to play it and How to play it using feel and expression. You don’t need to be an amazing player to get started on this!
