Outdoors (To The Tune Of I’m Yours)

Hello everyone.  Here is all the stuff you need to play ‘Outdoors’ on your ukulele.

Remember to keep a steady beat and try to sing the words while you’re playing.

Have fun!

Song

I also found a recording of the 2010-2011 Chorus singing the words to the first half of this song with a ukulele.  You can practice along with them if you’d like.

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” is a song written and composed by Mack David, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston for the Walt Disney film Cinderella (1950). In the song Cinderella (as sung by Ilene Woods)[1] encourages her animal friends to never stop dreaming, and that theme continues throughout the entire story. The theme of the song was taken from Franz Liszt‘s Etude No. 9 “Ricordanza” of the Transcendental Etudes.

Fur Elise

Remember to break the music up into phrases to approach it successfully.  It’s like a call and response or a conversation.

Snark Tuner Demo

Hello everyone.  I found a really nice demo on YouTube for the blue Snark tuners I handed out on Wednesday.  If our quick overview left you needing more, or you just want to review, check this video out.  He is demonstrating on a guitar, but the principle is the same.

Remember, the strings of the uke are tuned G – C – E – A in order from top, (the string closest the ceiling) to bottom, (the string closest the floor).

Also, for those guitar players out there, the strings of the guitar are tuned E – A – D – G – B – E  in order from top, (the string closest the ceiling) to bottom, (the string closest the floor).

Have fun!
