3:30-4:30 p.m. - Uke and Me - Annie Loch - Conf Rm B
The Uke and Me workshop will talk about and demonstrate activities participants can do with their kids or grandkids when the kids are getting into the ukulele. Ways to help teach them. Basic fingerpicking songs they can do together and one chord strumming songs. The Uke and Me workshop will give grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles - those who are not used to teaching ukulele to children - ideas for how they can hook their own young people on playing the uke with them. Simple songs (or ways to simplify songs), songs all kids seem to enjoy, some basic finger-picking songs they can do together. |
