Join George & Mandi from Opera-lele for a fun and creative workshop exploring how to turn a simple song into a full-blown ukulele ensemble arrangement! Working together as a group, you’ll take a well-known tune and divide it into up to five different musical parts, discovering how layering rhythms, fingerpicking patterns, melodies and harmonies can completely transform a performance.
Along the way, you’ll learn more about arranging for groups, building dynamics, and adding texture and musical interest to make your songs sound bigger, richer and more polished. If you’ve ever listened to another ukulele group and wondered how they create that “full band” sound — this workshop is for you.
A knowledge of a few basic chords is recommended, along with a willingness to try some fingerpicking and experiment a little. Tab reading is helpful but absolutely not essential. Best suited to intermediate players or adventurous beginners looking to stretch themselves a bit.
Bring your ukulele, a sense of humour, and get ready to make some glorious noise together!
Sunday late morning - Time/Location TB
