Have you just started playing ukulele and know a few chords, but you're not quite up to changing from chord to chord at full speed yet? Are you thinking about coming to a BUG Jam or joining us playing out in the community this year but would like a little extra slow practice?

Well - here's a fun jam for you! We'll play through some tunes really, REALLY SLOWLY, share tips and techniques that might help you, and try to answer any questions you might have. I came up with the idea of a BUG slow jam many years ago based on my experience of learning the fiddle and attending "reel" slow fiddle jams.

NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: 8 (geared to adults 18+)

Please email Sue@bytownukulele.ca if you'd like to participate. I'll send you back an email confirming your attendance and providing our address.

We'll be singing songs from the BUG EVENT SONGBOOK. Why not have a look at the songbook ahead of time and choose some songs you'd like us to sing! We have BUG Event Songbook binders you can use, or if you prefer you can download the BUG Event Songbook and bring it along on your device - it's up to you.

If you're unsure about how to tune your uke, hold your uke, etc., you may want to check out some of these instructional videos from Bernadette Teaches Music before the jam.

I've created a document, Real Slow Jam Notes, that you can read before our session to familiarize yourself with some terms and concepts we will be referring to during the jam.

WHAT TO BRING:
- bring your iPad or other device only IF you prefer to download the BUG Event Songbook PDF and use your device during the jam. We have lots of BUG Event Songbook binders you can use.
- your ukulele
- ukulele tuner

We're gonna have fun!
