2nd International Liverpool Ukulele Ceilidh Workshop Descriptions
Friday, October 26th - Session 1 - 9:00 AM-10:30 AM
A. James Hill and J. Chalmers Doane
Ukulele in the Classroom I: The Secret is Out (All Levels) The secret is out: the ukulele is a perfect vehicle for fostering music literacy in students of all ages. If a sequential, performance-based approach to teaching singing, picking, sight-reading, strumming, and music theory is what you’ve been looking for, then this is one class you won’t want to skip! Current and prospective teachers alike will benefit from the depth and variety of material presented. Handout provided in both C6 and D6 tuning.
B. Kailin Yong
Melody and Chord Melody 101 This is a great workshop for beginning and intermediate players who are ready to explore playing melodies and chord melodies on the ukulele.
C. Dan Scanlan
Play the Uke Now! Beginners. This is primarily for folks who have never played the ukulele or any other instrument, but can be of use to other players as well. I’ve presented this lecture hundreds of times. It’s designed to quick start new players, get them playing right away and give them a “to do” list for the future.
Friday, October 26th - Session 2 - 11:00 AM-12:30 PM
A. James Hill and J. Chalmers Doane
Ukulele in the Classroom II: Songs and Repertoire (All Levels) It’s awfully hard to teach a song you can’t play! Get more familiar with vocal, instrumental, and ensemble repertoire presented in the Ukulele in the Classroom I workshop. You don’t need to be a teacher to attend this fun, hands-on repertoire class all are welcome. Handouts provided in both C6 and D6 tuning.
B. John Kavanagh
Pentatonic Improvisation It was a real break through moment for me when my first teacher did this with our class, and I try to share the excitement of that discovery. I show students a simple one-octave pentatonic scale, and we experiment with making up little melodic fragments, starting with repeating short figures I play, and progressing to call and response phrases. Often the beginner is at a loss how to begin improvising or picking by ear, and this simple approach is a confidence-booster. Anything you play within the limits of this easy-to-learn scale pattern sounds pleasant and musical, and this creates an “I can do it” moment that can be very liberating. With handouts (music, tabs, diagrams), C or D tuning.
C. Peter Luongo

A Workshop on Playing Ukulele With a Pick, with a focus on strumming patterns, lead note playing, and stylizing a song with muting, hammering and other fingering techniques.\
Satuday, October 27th - Session 4 - 9:00 AM-10:30 AM
A. J. Chalmers Doane
Ensemble Techniques With Hands-On Functional Piano and Bass Ensemble playing requires special techniques which really boil down to orchestration. The blend of bass, functional piano and ukuleles will be dealt with, including a brief introduction to string bass, functional piano and functional percussion. The focus will be on making a group (small or large) sound good. D tuning is, in Mr. Doane’s opinion, musically superior, and will be encouraged. Any tuning will be accepted in any of Mr. Doane’s workshops. Material for both C and D tuning will be available.
B. John Kavanagh
Blues and Improvisation Another approach to improvising for the intermediate/advanced player. I teach the instrumental, Blue Monk, in D or C as a solo/duet, then show how a pentatonic scale can be the jumping-off place for blues improvising. I demonstrate some shuffle rhythms and chord substitutions, which can be used for any tune with a bluesy feel. Music in notation and tab, for D or C tuning.
