How To Strum & Sing - Dream A Little Dream of Me! Course Day 1 of 4
Today we begin a new course that will teach you how to strum and sing at the same time. It can be very overwhelming to try to play a song you enjoy, keep the strumming hand steady, AND add the singing on top of that.
In this video (day 1 of 4) we will just learn line 1 of the song Dream A Little Dream of Me. We will take a VERY SLOW approach so that I can show you how to break down ANY SONG.
PLEASE pay very close attention to the alignment of chords and lyrics. This is the most crucial part of learning how to strum and sing. If you can align the strum with the lyrics, you've done the most challenging part!

Thank you! I could sort of half sing and play…. It is so nice to have it broken down.
I’ve been working on your 15 songs in 30 days. I seem to lose the rhythm of the strum when I start sing the lyrics. Uku is my first musical instrument. Thank you for sharing your amazing teaching skills on youtube. I will admit nearly every time you say “ look up look up” you’re talking to me.

Hey Gina, I'm fairly sure that a bunch of us do the same thing. ;-) Just keep doing it ! You will get it, and be great.
Need more of these tutorials please, so extremely helpful!! it really helped me turn things around, playing-wise. pleaseeeeee do more slow courses 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
If only I can sing nicely at all. But who cares. I put on an awesome concert for my cats and they listen when I sing and play. 😄
Hello, I like the repetitive instruction, it is closer to how a song is really learned. Watching other videos that zip through the song give a unrealistic expectation when learning.
I adore the slow repetition of this tutorial! Thank you Bernadette 🩵
Bernadette, you look shining, and absolutely bright! Love the spectacles, Teacher ☀️
This course was SO helpful!! First song I've been able to play and sing to. I would love more videos like this!
Great video Ms. Bernadette!

A much needed tutorial for those who wanted to play the uke and sing. You are a great teacher. 🙏 This is helping me overcome my problem. Practicing it to make it perfect. 👍
You rule the Tube, Bernadette!
I appreciate you repeating, love your style of teaching. I’m so new at this. Thank you.
thanks again! maria from annapolis
With spectacles , you look more like Professor B 🤓 Thank you for the hard work. Appreciate the lesson . It's really helpful especially for beginners like me . I'm always looking forward to your videos and learning along . Have a great weekend
Great easy and very useful lesson. Thank you!
I am watching and learning from North Carolina. Enjoying all the lessons so far, Dave K,
Super fun. It really helps to break it down like this. So grateful for your dedication. Best wishes.
Hello, I watch your videos from France and I love them ! Can’t wait for the next part of this song ! Thanks 🤩
Bendiciones me encanta genial guapa saludos desde mabella Málaga España guapa 😘 😊 😉 🙂 💕 👍 😘 😊 😉
Very helpful. A big thank you, Bernadette.
Wow, this is perfect! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
This will be really useful........I’ve learnt to do it but it’s taken some perseverance!!! I’m ok if the strumming is a steady beat but as soon as it’s more complicated than that I struggle to keep the rhythm while singing!!! 👍
Yesssss this is exactly what I needed!!!! I will keep practicing, thank you again 🤓
Bernadette, I'm having soooo much fun learning this song! You teach exactly how I learn! I cannot wait to play this whole song for my mama!
hi! It's been a while since I commented in one of your videos💗
Thank you Bernadette.
I am loving all your lessons. I am having a hard time singing while strumming, but this is really helping with that. The only thing I strugged with this and the second video after this, was the transition from C to B7, buuuuut I watched your fingers to see how you did the transition and now I know :D.
Hi Bernadette I am new to Ukulele and love your videos. Please can you make some more sing and strum videos. I loved this. I really struggle with strumming patterns and having the step by step to be able to sing and strum an easy song is fantastic. Thank you:
I wish all the songs were taught or presented this way. Going through the 30 day challenge I could not figure out how to match up where the cords came in with the words. I am hoping as I go along this will be explained. Hope to see more of this. David K.
I found If if capo my strat at the fifth fret the higher strings have the same tuning as a ukelele.
Bernadette - which is the tutorial which demonstrated a 3/4 beat fingerpicking style? Thank you!
Have the free pdf downloads now gone?
I have such trouble with my ukulele over powering my voice on recording 😅
It says printable below…..but where?
I don’t seem to be able to see the link to download the pdf???
