Moon River – Ukulele Chord Melody Lesson (Step-by-Step Live Workshop)

Wednesday 11th March 2026

3:30pm UK time - Replay available afterwards: https://youtube.com/live/rOzxBwpAbhI

In this live lesson, we explore how to turn Moon River into a beautiful chord melody arrangement on ukulele.

Instead of just learning the notes, I’ll show you the exact process I use to build chord melody from scratch.

Whether you're an intermediate player looking to move beyond strumming, or a confident beginner wanting to understand how melody and harmony fit together, this workshop will give you practical tools you can use immediately.

What you’ll learn:

• How to separate melody from harmony
• Where to place chords in 3/4 time
• How to use your thumb for partial chord strums
• How to stop the melody getting buried
• How to start building your own chord melody arrangements
