How To Strum & Sing - Dream A Little Dream of Me - Course Day 2 of 4
Today we continue the “how to strum and sing” challenge; a course for ukulele. 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 2 of 4) we will review line 1 and master line 2 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!

I love the repetition, it's good to see how much we should be breaking the song down and repeating parts to learn it. It makes me feel like I'm not too slow at learning
Repetition is how I actually learn and understand better . Without repetition , I probably wouldn't be able to play . Thank you for the hard work. Appreciate it . Your background looks really warm and comfy .

ya most tutorials leave out the reps, its gives a person a unreal expectation. I also play violin and a world class violinist posts videos of herself practising; its repetition and practicing basic skills even at her level.
The repetition is super helpfullll
Great tutorial as ever, thanks for sharing. As for "repetition", Repeat, Repeat and then Repeat. Repetition makes reputation and the Maestro has failed more times than the pupil has tried. Love and respect.
Dear Bernadette, you are a great teacher. I am from Brazil and I have been learning a lot by watching your classes! ❤
I love the repetition, it's so much more helpful than having to constantly rewind the video to catch what I missed or practice with it. I always practice with my concert or soprano but my baritone has my heart right now
Thank you, I always love your tutorials but this repeat kind in particular is even better! I feel like I grasped it more easily ☺️ thank you Bernadette!
Thankyou for such an amazing tutorial, Repetition made the tutorial more effective & made it easier❤️
Not a problem at all with repetition! That's how it's done 👍 More like this! Great channel too 😊
Love these tutorials, makes it achievable
Great lesson.
Love the repetition! You are such a patient, knowing teacher! Thank you!
I always enjoy your lessons so much. I’m from Brasil and I learn in a fun and light way!
just what i needed thanks..maria from annapolis
It's like you read my mind. I just had a friend ask me to learn this song for her wedding in September! So excited you now have a tutorial for this. I know what I'll be working on this summer.
Been great so far. Thank you for teaching this way.
Thank you for breaking it down like this. Much easier to digest, especially for chord switches that aren't straightforward. I even managed to do the slightly fancier strumming pattern suggested, so I'm very chuffed with myself tonight seeing up until now I've only managed down strums! This has made me very happy as I was starting to think I'd never be able to do anything else! Looking forward to putting it all together!
I like this type of tutorial, speed very slow, easy for people like me who don't know how to sing to learn ukulele.😄
I love you Bernadette, I have learnt so much from you ❤ thank you
I love this step by step tutorial with lots of repetition! I’m still a beginner and I struggle with chord changes, especially with new chords, and singing and strumming at the same time is really challenging! So this is perfect for me, thank you!
thank you so much for all these videos! so grateful to have found you. thanks again from a beginner
I love the repetition!
I am new (9/7/23) I LOVE your teaching style and the repetition.
Ahhhh this is great, the repetition is exactly what I need, I can't believe how fast I am picking all of this stuff up!!! Bravoooo
This is so perfect. The repetition helps me very much! Thank you!
Just keep doing it the way you are doing it- that’s memorization!👏🤣
Very helpful video. Thank you for the repetition it helps!
I'm also listening to Ella's recording. Love your swing vocal on top of the straight ukulele rhythm. I would not have picked up on that without taking your course. Thanks Bernadette!
Thank you, I love this song and tutorial.
Lots of fun 🙏🤗💜
You are a wonderful and concerned teacher. You teach quite well. I really enjoy your course. Thank you🌺
I’m enjoying this, thank you
Don't feel insecure about the practice. It's actually my favorite part!
Thank you so much, for me the repetition is a game changer! Awesome tutorial!
Im early and thank you for the tutorial 💓💓✨✨
Thank you. I am having a great time learning this song, David K.
Fantastic!!! I wish to learn “la via en rose “ on the same way
The repetition works fine, Bernadette. I also need it to effectively switch from C to B7. A big thank you.
Fantastic !! I wish to learn “ La vie en rose “ on the same way thanks
Wonderful song and a much needed lesson. As always you break it down and make it as easy and fun as possible! I know I struggled a long time to be able to sing and strum at the same time and playing is just so much more fun then! I' watched tutorials on singing and strumming from other creators, I can say right now yours is the best👏👏👏
I ❤ this course!!! Thank you!
we love the repetition!!!
literally paused the video where you said to tell you if it's too repetitive because sometimes it feels a bit repetitive, yes but ultimately I am happier for it. It means that I have nailed it and can even sometimes play along with your demo sections and it makes me feel confident in myself! It's great, I think it is super important :)
I love the repetition, Bernadette! Thank you for this lesson! This song is one of my faves!
I am new to the ukelele world and had definitely been feeling a little defeated and frustrated that I didn’t seem to be getting it. I came upon your videos and have really been enjoying them, still not great but have definitely seen progress. Initially was feeling like why all the repetition but now I’m thankful for it and the little cues in other videos like “look up” are actually really nice.
I just found you recently and am working through your materials.
Het gaat super! Dankjewel, mooie les💝
Excellent lesson. Thanks.
This is the best!!! Thank you🎶🎶🎶🎶
This is awesome Bernadette. I often struggle with singing and playing at the same time and breaking it down helps. I like that you take it slow and having the chords on the screen helps in following along. I love this song and I feel successful. Thanks.
Fantastic!
Very helpful thanks love it! Thank you
Love it so much 👏🥰… thank you 🙏
Hi, I love more in-depth strumming and singing lessons! I have question when you transition from one line to another, when you should start singing the next line. With the end of the previous line chord? Since sometimes the new line doesn’t start with any chords first. Also, sometimes the words are between chords/strumming before and after, does that mean you should cover all the words in the pause between chords? I don’t know if that makes sense but a good example is “Summertime” verses. Thanks!
🎉❤
You are amazing. Yes, I've a question: For any given song, how do I know the first note to sing?

I usually hold the first chord and pick one string at a time. I try to sing the song in the note of the string I just picked. I’ll do this until one of them sounds right. Would you like me to make a video explanation? ❤️

I'm learning a lot from your video. One thing isn't B7 a Barre chord? Coz i saw from a chart which was a. Barre ? Is this a different variation of B7
