Which level do you belong to in this context?

Beginner: A student at this level is brand-new to ukulele.  He/she has perhaps learned one to three chords but stops in-between chord changes to move the fingers to the next location.

Advanced beginner: A student at this level knows a handful of chords and can move from one chord to another without pausing. Student may have trouble with, say, the Bb chord shape. Has developed a strum or two or a finger pattern for picking.

Intermediate: A student at this level can hold a steady rhythm and is competent with a variety of basic chords (for example: A, Am, B7, C, C7, D, Dm, E, Em, G, and G7). Understands simple chord progressions (such as I, IV, V chords), can sing and strum at the same time, and learns chords to simple tunes fairly quickly.

Advanced: A student at this level can hear I, IV, and V chords, has mastered some chord inversions, knows there is life above the fifth fret, and has been there with barre or 4-fingered closed chords. Plays lead and backup easily with others and keeps steady rhythm.

Parking: Free parking after 5pm on streets around Little India or S$1 per entry at The Verge (multi-storey sheltered parking)
