Fox On The Run: Ukulele

Spirited and grounded, like a folk tune played around a campfire. The arrangement captures the restless energy of the narrative while maintaining the warmth and directness folk music demands.

Intermediate ukulele students ready to move beyond beginner folk arrangements into material with more musical depth. Solo performers looking for accessible yet charming repertoire that showcases both melodic and accompaniment skills.

• Pay attention to the rhythmic pulse that drives the folk melody; consistent strumming will anchor the narrative of the piece.
