Somewhere Over the Rainbow Ukulele Grade 1 Teaching Support

**This is a PowerPoint presentation providing full tuition support for the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow, which features on the current Rock School syllabus for Grade 1 Ukulele. It is ideal for both peripatetic teachers teaching one-to-one, and classroom teachers teaching whole class ukulele, serving as a great complement to the RSL Grade 1 Ukulele book, which it is assumed that you will have. **

The PowerPoint breaks down Somewhere Over the Rainbow into sections, and includes slowed down MP3s, produced in Sibelius software, modelling each section for students to play along with. These slowed down play-along tracks serve as a great stepping stone to being able to perform with the RSL full track and backing track audios at full speed, which it is assumed that you will have.

This resource also includes easy to understand grids for the chords in Somewhere Over the Rainbow, helpful grids for proper left hand finger technique, and easy to understand counting, in terms of performing rhythms correctly. Finally, a slowed down play-along annotated video brings all of the learning together to ensure a confident performance of the piece.
