When You Wish Upon A Star
Sung by Cliff Edwards as the voice of Jiminy Cricket. Cliff Edwards was also known as “UKULELE IKE”
Looks like the song that I sang at age 7 on stage for my singing recital has made the list! Yay!
Check this somewhat jazzy version of the Hukilau Song.
Ok guys, I’ve just downloaded that universal app. Wow it looks complicated and when I opened it, it was picking up my TV noise in the background. ha. You say to use the chromatic mode to see the octave. So, as a base point, what octave number contains the middle C ?
Robin, thanks. I’ve got that same “cheat sheet” inserted into the cover sleeve of my song book binder. That’s what I was using but so many repeated notes on different strings…..So which one to use? That app that bzediver uses would be very useful to identify the octave.
bdez- thanks for the input. But I guess it doesn’t say what octave the note is. I guess it’s just an “ear” thing….so many notes in so many places. In general it looks like plucking past the 5th fret will give you an octave higher.
And Lisa, as Yogi once said, You’re “smarter than the average bear” ha. So smart and neatly explained that as the Scarecrow said ” I should have thought of it myself”.
Robin, Yes, I do like the meditative pieces and usually I don’t have to sing which makes it even better. Ha. Right now I’m working on The Theme From Romeo & Juliet from 1969. Very pretty meditative and melodic. And it’s got that “Elizabethan sound” which I think goes well with the ukulele.
Thanks, Lisa.
Question: In Matt’s arrangement of “Dream A Little Dream” in the 7th bar, he plucks the 7th fret of the A string for the E note. Is that the only way that I can play that note?
As simple as I can explain my original question, starting with middle C, which I believe is the open C string, can I play 2 complete octaves on the ukulele? C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A,B. The second C in this progression, I think would be the third fret of the E string. After the 3rd fret on the E string, I’m lost as to how to play the notes that follow (D through B).
Thanks, Andrew. I’ve never seen (I don’t think) those notations. Would this be for sheet music written for the ukulele. I have sheet music written for the piano. In this case how would I convert? Attached is what I’m beginning to work on. See that EAGED note sequence in the 2nd bar.
