Bravo Lisa! I dig the volume accents you put into it. You are really improving, it’s amazing to hear your progress 🙂 Keep up the good work!
Benjamin, you and your sister rock! You’ve got a bright future ahead of you 🙂 And that is so sweet of you to play for your cousin, she’ll be in my prayers.
Here is a video of Benjamin jamming with his sis! Love it!
Actually, I just helped a member privately with a question about moving from Form 1 to 2. She was working on the last performance piece from the beginner’s course. Here was her questions, maybe it might be helpful for you. If not, please post a video with what you are working on specifically and I’d be happy to review it and offer tips.

I’m a massive fan of your page, and I have been going through your beginner course which has helped me to improve massively. However, I am struggling with one thing, and that is to with the intermediate strum and fingerpick lesson (last lesson of the beginner course); how are you able to switch between form 1 and form 2 so easily with your left hand?
From bar 4-5 and on bar 13 (outro). It looks like you switch from form 2 to form 1, but I can’t quite manage to do it as smoothly as you do.

My response:
Wow! You guys really delivered! We received 144 questions for Taimane; 5 of which were selected by random and answered by her! Sit back and get comfy as we dive into the mind of an ukulele virtuoso.
Be sure to leave a comment below for Taimane for the chance to WIN this signed Kala KA-15s Ukulele + “We Are Made of Stars” CD!
Sure do! Understanding rhythmic notation is vital to playing in time. So, I would start with that lesson. Furthermore, you can set all of our on-screen tab viewers to “synthetic” mode. In this mode, you can activate the metronome and play along with the tab player, which in-turn acts as a guide. To do this, refer to the second video on this page and jump 6 minutes into it.
Start with an easy rhythmic song, such as: Our First Song. Count the rhythm out loud as you play the song.
Keep me in the loop with how you are doing 🙂
Big thanks to everyone who asked Taimane a question! We’ll be releasing the Q&A video and revealing the signed ukulele + CD winner this Friday, November 17th. Stay tuned!
Wow classicuke, that was fantastic! You have a great feel to your playing! Notes are clean and timing is great, keep up the good work!
