Hi guys! We are back with Live Lesson EP082! This month’s topic is: An Amazing Way to Transform Any Ukulele Song!
In this session, we’ll show you how to transform one of the simplest songs ever, “Hot Cross Buns,” into something fresh and exciting. You’ll learn the basics of reharmonization: a powerful technique for breathing new life into a tune by replacing its original chords with new ones while keeping the melody the same.
Once you see how it works, you’ll be able to apply the same ideas to any ukulele song you play!
This month’s topic should stir up some great questions! So please post all you have below and I hope you join us for the live stream. 🙂

Oh man, I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOooooooooooo excited for this one!! I can’t wait to learn more about this concept!
Without fully knowing what’s involved with this idea, my question is: How far can you modify a given tune before it no longer is that tune anymore? That’s more an existential question, perhaps. 😂
Maybe as long as the main melody is in tact and recognizable, no matter how much you change the harmony, it still is the song you started with?
I’ll be pondering this way too much now…
Thank you for coming up with these great topics and lessons! 🙂
