Tuning in to Two New Chords
The first half of our class took a bit longer than expected, as a few of the ukuleles were quite wildly out of tune. Unfortunately, tuning on Zoom isn’t the easiest process, but it’s worth spending a bit of extra time to make sure the kids develop good tuning habits before they play. Likewise, we spent a bit of extra time on the proper way to hold the ukulele, and luckily some of the kids who figured it out quickly jumped in to help the younger ones. Once everyone was on the same page, we did some rhythmic strumming exercises and put those into practice with two new chords. With that foundation, the kids will be singing songs in no time. Sometimes two chords is all you need!
