Putting the chords together...

Today in the ukulele group we were learning to:
~ Start and stop together;
~ Strum in time;
~ Remember where to put our fingers for the C and F chords.

 We also practised playing songs that had both chords in them: 

"I Caught a Baby Bumble Bee" 

"The Doggie Stole a Sausage" 

When we had nearly finished for the day Mrs Cavanagh let us all have a turn on her Kanua. It has 8 strings made of fishing line, and comes all the way from the Cook Islands. Even though you play it the same as a normal Ukulele, it sounds higher because it is tuned differently:

 Our home learning this week is to train our fingers to change between the C chord and the F chord as much as we can. We will have to practice over and over again until we get really good at it.
We also have to remember to bring a clearfile so that we can bring home the words to the new songs that we learn!
