LAO OFFICIAL 2020 SERIES LAUNCH: FEBRUARY 2020
Like An Orchestra is the next phase of ukulele training developed by UCL for past, present and new UCL members and ukulele players who would like to be part of a dynamically, virtual ukulele orchestra.
In November 2019 we ran a pilot taster session with over 40 participants, local and international, who carried out online LAO training with the Christmas hit, Rocking Around The Christmas Tree with an invite to perform the annual UCL Festive Fundraiser in December 2019. For participants who were unable to make it, they still had the chance to get involved in a virtual ensemble by recording and submitting their individual parts for the final mix as featured on the UCL SOUNDCLOUD platform.
The 2020 series features eight fantastic songs with online training, Liverpool based monthly meet ups and two chances to perform live as part of the orchestra in July & December 2020 plus a whole load of other major benefits. All songs in the series have been carefully selected to ensure that you explore as much ukulele playing essentials as possible and is suitable for players of all ages and abilities from basic skills to advanced level players. To find out where you fit into the mix, CLICK HERE.
The debut performance will take place at the SUMMER STRUM festival on Saturday 4th July at 12pm where LAO will be opening the festivities and the second at the annual showcase in Liverpool in December (TBA). Have a listen to the demo below for a sample of the first song featured in the LAO 2020 series:

MINI DEMO | SONG #2: Bohemian Rhapsody
|
Bohemian Rhapsody contains an extensive amount of basic chord shapes for the Level 1 ukulele parts. It's a great way to revise all of those shapes you may already know and explore some new shapes from chord families such as augmented and diminished sevenths.
Have a look at the intro section below and see how many of the chords you can play already. There are 4 main sections to this song with alternative strumming styles, tempos, key signatures and operatic techniques, some of which can be quite challenging but it's a great song to learn. This will be the second song of the series for 2020. Trust me - you're going to love it!! To hear the full version performed in 2019 CLICK HERE |

JOIN LIKE AN ORCHESTRA
Become a member of the worlds 1st interactive ukulele orchestra. The series features a set of seven classic songs that have appeared in the UCL training repertoire during the past 7 years plus a brand new feature for the eight year.
We will be starting at the very beginning, as it's a very good place to start!! "Do-Re-Mi" is a classic show tune that featured in Rodgers and Hammersteins musical, The Sound Of Music. I remember watching this film for the first time when I was about six years old. It sparked an interest in music learning for me, what with all the doe eyed dears and cup of teas. In the film, Maria teaches each syllable of the musical solfège system in the song's lyrics, sung on the pitch it names and now you can learn those exact notes on the ukulele with our very first song release for 2020. Hit the JOIN LAO button below to find out what other song will feature in the 2020 series and find out more about your membership options.
