BOO!! Check out our song and video for Halloween!

Gemma talks about how she made the video for BOO!
The ILOVEUKE students at Recreation Road have been learning the uke with me for 6 weeks. So far they have learnt the chords,
​C, Am and F.


So I was thinking, "3 chords. That's enough for a song, right?!" But I fancied doing something original and new this term. So I thought we'd try a song for Halloween. I came up with the chords and asked the children to write some lyrics (I'm not so great at writing lyrics). Within a week, over the 3 groups, we came up with the song 'BOO!'. 

I recorded them singing and making scary noises on my iPhone and, with a little help on the strumming from my Tuesday Avenues Uke Group, pasted it all together. I then added some drums and some sound effects in Garageband, and I'm pretty happy with the result. 

Even better, I realised that while being recorded in their Halloween gear at home, they are actually getting a bit of practice in too. Sneaky! (Insert evil laugh here)

Thanks to all the parents that helped with the clips, I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did making it. 

Don't have nightmares....
LYRICS:

Halloween,
Scary Screams,
Trick or Treat,
Lots of Sweets,
It's time to scream and shout,
So get your pumpkins out,
BOO!

Norfolk Uke Tutors' Network

18/10/2016

0 Comments

 
The ukulele is becoming increasing popular in schools and we’re getting lots of enquiries from all over Norfolk - so we’re exploring whether it’s a good idea to set up an informal Uke Tutors’ Network for practitioners in Norfolk.

The aim of the network would be to keep each other informed of training and work opportunities, or potentially work together on projects.

If you’d like to be involved or would like to share your views on what the network might look like please can you complete this short online survey.
Our survey
ILOVEUKE are running our first training event for Norfolk ukulele tutors at The Garage in Norwich on January 24th 2017.
Please follow this link for more info or to book your place.

Please email clara@iloveuke.co.uk for more info. 


We look forward to hearing from you!

Ukulele For Christmas

F / / / C7 / / / C7 / / / F / / /

Santa I've been as good as gold
There's only one present I want to hold
I promise that I'll play it every day
So Santa whaddya say?

A ukulele for Christmas
A ukulele dear Santa please
A ukulele for Christmas
All wrapped up for me

I don't need a Furby or a BB-8
I've already got some roller skates
Don't leave an XBox under my tree
No iPad or smart TV

A ukulele for Christmas
A ukulele dear Santa please
A ukulele for Christmas
All wrapped up for me

A ukulele dear Santa please
A ukulele for Christmas
All wrapped up for me
