Patron Events for March 2019 (Patreon)

{Patron-only post}

Aloha Patrons! 

First, a warm welcome to all the new Patrons!  Thanks for joining us here!  If you are a new Patron, please introduce yourself in the comments below. Feel free to share how long you've been playing, what kind of uke you play, if you have an uke club to play with, what songs you've been working on. And if you've been a Patron for a while and want to share, please go ahead. This is a good place for your questions too - fellow Patrons, feel free to help me answer any newbie questions. 

Thanks to all of you for directly supporting my work and for creating a powerful and positive online ukulele community.

A note for newbies - I know Patreon can be a bit hard to navigate. Please be patient and explore, and be sure to join our secret Facebook group!  Details on how to join are below in the Community Notes at the bottom of this post.  Our community on facebook is active and supportive, and it's the best place to post any question you have about Patreon or ukulele. I also recommend downloading our CL Patron App, which has links to all my channels and resources (see Community Notes for links to download).

February 2019 recap
In February, I posted three new videos:

• I hope you checked out the premiere of my new music video for “La Vie en Rose.”  Thank you for all your support!  Please watch and share! 
• I posted a new Play-Along for “Island Style” - thank you to the students of my Nov 2017 class in San Francisco for playing it so beautifully.  I'll also be teaching this song next Thursday in our Beginner Live Jam.  Watch here 
• I also published the Play-Along for "Ain't No Sunshine," which was the Patron-voted song for September 2018.  All Patrons can access the full Live Lesson, find it here.

I also shared that you can get a $10 subscription to Ukulele Magazine by using this special link. Patron perks!

More February 2019 Patron events:

• We worked on “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Part 2 for our February 2019 Live Lesson, which is now available to all Patrons
• We played a new arrangement of “Just the Way You Are” at our Beginner Live Jam ($10+ Patrons)
• Chord charts for these 2 new songs are available for $3+ Patrons
• At our Intermediate Live Jam ($20+ Patrons), we worked on chord inversions, using “Bohemian Rhapsody.” 
• We enjoyed a special U-BASSics Lesson with Ukulenny ($5+ Patrons). Thank you, Lenny! We got a great response, so I'm working on scheduling a follow-up U-Bass Lesson.
• I got to meet Patrons at Ukulele 101 Bootcamp, which I also livestreamed (watch here).  Congrats to fellow Patron Stephen who won the CL Signature Uke in our Bootcamp drawing!
