Class Description: The workshop will consist of a variety of topics with flexibility depending on the desires of the students.

The last half hour will be a demo and discussion about arranging for ‘ukulele, a Yasui specialty. Other topics could be
• Concepts on how to find chord fingerings and their inversions throughout the fingerboard.
• Chord substitution concepts.
• Strumming techniques
• Effective accompaniment for your singing
Bring: Bring a ‘ukulele preferably tuned in C with a high G, a recording device (recordings for your private use only)
