Don't know what the user fee will be for this, but I'll let you know as soon as I do. danno Play Ukulele By Ear (All Levels Welcome) Get off of that piece of paper and learn to Play Ukulele By Ear. This entertaining and informative workshop will give you the tools you need to tap into your innate musical abilities. Playing by ear is easy, it's fun and it will propel your understanding of how music works to a new level. This workshop will make you a better listener and student! All skill levels welcome, however, knowledge of basic chord shapes (C-F-G7) is helpful. Comments from Jim D�Ville�s How to Play Ukulele by Ear Workshop: �A fabulous, logical and freeing way to approach music.� �Now I will use my ears! Duh-why didn�t I think of that?� �Great workshop! I didn�t think it was possible to teach by ear.� �Your workshop has inspired me to move to the next level.� �Lots of �Ah-ha� moments!� Here are two other workshops I present. I can add some of the next level workshop depending on how advanced your group is. Chord Progressions by Ear: Beyond The I-IV-V (All Levels Welcome) Being able to hear chord progressions will go a long way toward demystifying music and will allow you to learn tunes right off your favorite CD. Tune your ears into the sound of the tri-tone, dominant seven and diatonic chord progressions. This exciting workshop will open your ears to the way all songs work.
