In the run up to Valentine’s Day, we invite you to choose love songs that can be strummed, plucked, or arranged as chord melody for instrumental ukulele in my online classes. On Thursday 11th February 2021, we will sing and play three chord songs that fall in this category.
We always start promptly at 3 pm EST with a warm-up, followed by our sunglasses ritual, and a line-up of up to ten songs performed by volunteers who request to perform beforehand. We record and edit our song sessions to review, learn, remember, and share with the community. Join our new public Facebook Group to see the LIVE STREAM if you can’t make it into Zoom.
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, tell us what lights you up about playing the ukulele. In other words, why do you love the ukulele? Fill out this Google Form and share.

As at 1/13/2021 I am creating a chord melody arrangement for Can’t Help Fallin’ in Love in the keys of C and D for my Pluck & Strum class (Mondays at 10:30 am EST) and PLUCK class (Wednesdays at 7:15 pm ET).
You can play/sing in C and play along to Kina Grannis’ version in Crazy Rich Asians, with San Jose Ukulele Club’s song sheet.
Three Chord Thursdays are free to join as participant and/or performer.
