  Although this class may offer the opportunity to perform solos or in small groups, the focus of the class is to work within a supportive large group setting to prepare for June performances.  Unlike most choirs, instead of using sheet music, we use lyric sheets and audio tracks* that are sent out by email. This course also includes 2 rehearsals before the June Concert.

  In this course, we will build on the skills you began in the beginner class. We will continue to work in the keys of C and F (and try to master the B Flat). We will also do some work with a capo which will allow us to play a key that feels comfortable for our voices.  There will be lots of laughs and we'll keep on learning and playing the ukulele.
