Ukestration: Breaking Songs into Parts

There’s definitely more to playing ukulele together than the ol’ hum ‘n strum!  Mark Jackson and Jane Jelbart show you how Ukestration is used to create interesting arrangements of contemporary songs into parts for a ukulele orchestra. Mark and Jane have taken ukestration to Hanoi, Singapore, Bendigo, Vancouver, California (amongst other places) and have helped energise the ukulele movements there. The very essence of ukestration is inclusion, so this workshop is suitable for players of all abilities.
