Beginner's Ukulele - Happy Birthday - A Festive Serenade!

Learn to play Happy Birthday on the ukulele. This course is aimed at beginners.  There is no need to be able to read music or even have picked up a ukulele.  All you need is a ukulele, access to a tuner and a desire to learn. 

This course will start right at the beginning - showing you:  what the different parts of the ukulele are, how to tune the ukulele and how to use the resources for this course.

We will then move on to playing the tune of Happy Birthday. By the end of the course, you well be able to play three different versions - the melody line on its own using fingerstyle, the chords using strumming and a developed version combining the chords with a new rhythm.  This gives you a great introduction to the different sounds your ukulele can make. 

Resources at each stage will include easy-to-read diagrams, tablature (TAB), charts and mp3 playalongs.  The sheet music is also provided for those who are interested but there is no need to be able to read them.
