Adding Depth and Dimension to your Music
With his original Hawaiian love song Aloha Pumehana as a reference, Daniel will share how to create interesting layers of arrangement using color tones, counterpoint, fingerstyle, and strumming. He’ll discuss:
– How to make simple chords even simpler and sound better by adding open string color tones.
– How to play and sing
– How to produce a beautiful fingerstyle tone
– A little about the Hawaiian language
– How to create interesting arrangements using color tones, movement, finger style, and strumming

It will be a fun and educational beginner/intermediate class on contemporary Hawaiian ‘ukulele!
