"Down in the Valley" seemed to be our most challenging song yet on ukuleles! The song has an odd feel to it, which is the feel of a waltz. Therefore, the students had to strum differently, in patterns of 3 rather than in patterns of 2. They had to strum down-up-up, down-up-up, etc. instead of down-up-down-up. So, not only were the students focusing on playing the correct chord, they also had to make sure they were strumming correctly! It's A LOT to put together, and they had a great start! It will only get better and better!
