Call To Action
Inside Week 1
Basic Level - Understand the Key Movements
Let's get started with the most simple left hand exercise of this program. In this first week, we will focus on the left hand position. Our main focus is to learn how to press the frets correctly to achieve a clear and sustained note. We will then focus on the thumb position and how to stretch your fingers.
Inside Week 2
Pyramid Level - Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone
Beginners love the to play in open position (first three frets). It feels safe to stay in one position, and even after learning all those beautiful chords, we still struggle to get out of our comfort zone. Let's fix that! With the Pyramid level, you will practice a pattern that forces your left hand to move horizontally up and down the fretboard allowing your fingers to go from wide to narrow frets. Challenging but also very rewarding!
Inside Week 3
Reversed Level - Create New Connections
If you practice an exercise for a while, you will get good at it. Keep practicing for a little longer and you will master it. Every time you grab you ukulele your fingers lead to that one chord, melody, or song you know so well! That's great! However, it's important to break the habit and try new things! Fire your synapse and learn something new! With the Reverse level, we are bringing a new pattern that will challenge your fingers again.
Inside Week 4
Spider Level - Full Control (but only when you are ready)
This is the absolute best ukulele and guitar warm-up. The spider level brings together all four fingers in one giant exercise. I know! Such exercises may be overkill on ukulele, but if you want to take it even just one step further, try the 1234 pattern. I promise you, it will stick with you forever. I have been using this warm-up for over fifteen years, and I love it. In this module, we will learn the basic spider exercises and the reversed pattern.
