Play Ukulele By Ear Workshop
Learning to make music is as much about learning to listen, as it is about learning to play the instrument itself. In this workshop, you'll learn how to tune your ukulele by ear (and tune your ears), identify chords by their emotional quality, and learn popular chord progressions by ear. This will propel your understanding of how music works (and your enjoyment of it) to a whole new level. This is a fun and interactive class that will change the way you approach learning songs not only on the ukulele, but on any instrument. All skill levels are welcome.
Jim D'Ville Bio
Jim didn’t pick up a ukulele until he was 42 (but not before he tried teaching himself how to play the banjo and attempted to learn music theory on his own). So, he can easily relate to the challenges facing the “adult” learner. To that end, Jim has created an original and organic approach to teach others how to play ukulele “by ear” and how to understand the basic foundation of all songs…..and he’s passionate about what he does. His “Play Ukulele By Ear” workshops get nothing but the highest rankings, with participants claiming they learned more from Jim in one hour than a year of private lessons! After an hour or so with Jim, you’ll be well on your way to “playing” music rather that just memorizing it. His enthusiasm and boundless energy will leave you eager for more.
Starting in mid-October, Jim will be teaching a series of group classes.
We're proud to be adding Jim to the MUSIC MOTIVE team!
