Links to tutorials, diagrams and more songs to stretch your skills:

- More Uke Troupe Songs. Go choose something for one of our Jams!
Practice tips:
- Leave your ukulele out and ready so you pick it up often.
- Goofing around is what it's all about...just a little bit each day.
- Even in 5 minutes you can do "Dm, F, Dm, F" or make up a new strum.
Alone or with a group?
- Solo practice lets you go at your own pace and hear the chords clearly. Videos are amazingly helpful and the online teachers are pros - learn from them! Play it over and over, you can even slow it down.
- Small Group practice helps you learn from others in Uke Troupe who are working through the same stuff as you are. Maybe practice for upcoming Jams or focus on a special skill like strumming. Quiet, real life settings are where the "aha" moments happen.
- Pop-Ups will be scheduled for special skills & topics (like how to change strings, maybe 12 Bar Blues, or Tabs / fingerpicking). In addition, we will continue to offer Newbie Basic training as needed.
- Jams with the whole BIG group together! This helps you to be the best player you can be. You'll feel the rhythm of the group and learn to to keep moving even when you don't know the chord. Plus, it builds community and friendships that help make learning more fun.
