"THE UKULELE IS A PORTAL THROUGH WHICH ONLY HAPPY PEOPLE CAN PASS"

2017 Workshop Program

A Guide to Skill Levels
You don't have to be a skilled ukulele player to attend and enjoy the festival but it is not suitable for anyone who has never played the ukulele before. It is assumed you are familiar with some basic chords and can strum a tune.
The minimum skill levels for the following are:
  • Basic - You are relatively new to the ukulele and can play at least four chords. You have mastered some basic strums.
  • Intermediate - You can comfortably play more than ten chords and can vary your strumming style. You have tried picking techniques and understand the concept of tab but lack confidence.
  • All levels - You are at least at basic level. There will be workshop elements or variations to suit both basic and intermediate levels.
