By Bruno Mars. By Bruno Mars, Charles Wilson, Devon Gallaspy, Jeff Bhasker, Lonnie Simmons, Mark Ronson, Nicholaus Williams, Philip Lawrence, Robert Wilson, Ronnie Wilson, and Rudolph Taylor. Arranged by Samson Trinh. Pop. Score and parts. 4 pages. Uke 'n' Roll #2893789. Published by Uke 'n' Roll (A0.867268).Ukulele and vocal arrangement of Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ Uptown Funk from Uke ’n’ Roll’s Take It To The Chorus series, which uses "hooks" or "choruses" from popular songs as musical training wheels to take the student’s newfound skills into action right away. Although not complete arrangements, Take It To The Chorus is the perfect arena to test out new chords, strums, and fingerpicking. Both ukulele community groups and students in classroom settings can start out their session by playing the song as warm ups. Sure scales are important, but wouldn’t it be more fun to warm those fingers and vocal chords to songs that rock?
For newbies and younger students, mix the session up by splitting the group or class into two or three sections. Each section only plays one chord selected from the song. This can turn into a friendly competition and helps the flow of warm ups run smoothly in real time instead of starting and stopping the song.
Music Educators
Utilize your Orff instruments by adding a simple percussive groove to the excerpts. Improvise! Take advantage of the xylophones, glockenspiel bells by playing the root of chords from the songs in whole or half notes. Use the same concept by adding a bass guitar. Ukulele bass (or u-bass)? Even better! Now you have a band! The song excerpts from Take It To The Chorus are also perfect to present for short and sweet school performances.
Includes an instructional guide to strum it right. Features various strum grooves throughout the song to keep the patterns fresh and exciting. Appropriate for schools and students in 2nd-5th grade music class and 6th-12th grade chorus.
