6 Advanced
We are off to an excellent start! We have almost mastered several songs which will be good ones to perform at the Evening of Excellence at the end of the school year.
The next class is Friday, May 9th. For an extra lesson this month, come to the next meeting of the Glastonbury Ukulele Club, Saturday, May 31st. Come from 10-11am for the lesson, and stay and singalong with the club from 11-1, if you like.
JOKE OF THE WEEK:
What's the difference between a ukulele and a trampoline?

POINTS TO REMEMBER!
- Keep your left thumb low in back of the neck.
- Strum over the fingerboard, not over the sound hole.
- Cut fingernails of the left hand short.
- Hold the ukulele so that the end hits your right inner biceps muscle and your forearm crosses the uke's lower right.
- Practice your strumming away from the ukulele, for example, in the car, on your seat belt.
- Practice chord changes when you can, for example, during a television program, or at least during the commercials.
