Utah County: The Lion Sleeps Tonight … Ukulele Summer Session #1 for Youth & Adults

Posted by on July 2nd 2020 @ 10:15 am

Please join us for our first Ukulele Summer Session where we’ll follow a format similar to Choir!Choir!Choir! – learning one song and then making a video that you can share with family and friends online. This next Wednesday our selection will be The Lion Sleeps Tonight.

Because of this one-rehearsal and then go format, you can expect that there will not be anything too difficult in the Ukulele Summer Session – this first song has just 3 chords: F, Bbadd9 & C (2013, 3213 & 0003 fret numbers). Non-singers are welcome to strum, fingerpick and tab. Non-players are welcome to come and just sing. If you do both, you’ll be welcome to show off your skills. 🙂

  • Date: Wednesday, July 8th 
  • Time: 6:30 – 8 pm
  • Location: Quail Cove Park, American Fork UT – Across the street from the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. There is plenty of room for social distancing between family groups.
  • Suggested Tip: $5 for individuals, $10 for families for each evening (cash, check or paypal) or subscribe at https://www.patreon.com/uke for additional online content.
  • Bring your Own: Ukulele, Lawn Chairs, Music Stands, Printed Music (see link above), Music Clips (in case of wind).
  • Difficulty: There will be easy chords for beginners and inversions for intermediate+ players. Singing will consist of unison, 2-part and 3-part harmony.

Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
