The Salinas Ukulele Club at Active Seniors, Inc., will be starting a new course to teach beginner and intermediate-level ukulele players based on the books by Doug Falconer called "Ukulele Beginner to Brilliant" which are available on Amazon.com . The course starts with the very basics for complete beginners but quickly progresses to more advanced skills and knowledge including reading standard sheet music staff notation and tablature, knowing the notes all over the fretboard, playing melodies, fingerstyle, some music theory (chords, keys, rhythms, modes, transposing, etc.), creating chord-melodies, and playing blues, jazz, and improvisation. In addition to the books and their accompanying videos, we will be using supplemental materials (handouts and videos) from such ukulele experts as Fred Sokolow, Del Rey, Bob Brozman, Lil' Rev, Kevin Rones, Calvin Chin, Glen Rose, and others. This is an in-person class that meets in the Active Seniors building near downtown Salinas. All ages are welcome. The cost is $4 per session ($2 for members of Active Seniors). Evidence of COVID vaccination is required. If you are interested, send me an email for further information and to register. stanleysokolow@gmail.com .
