Description

Ukulele Playing for the Beginner- Getting Started Workshop

Have you been thinking about learning to play the ukulele, but have lots of questions about getting started, such as:

-Is the uke an easy (or difficult) instrument to learn?

-Do I have to have a music background to begin playing the uke?

-Which of the many ukuleles available is best for me?

-Where do I find information on songs to learn?

-Can I learn to play by myself, or do I need individual lessons?

-Where might I find others to play ukulele with?

-etc.

This workshop will help to answer these questions and any others you might have and give you a nudge towards becoming a ukulele player.

Saturday, February 19th from 12:30 to 2pm

$32.50($22.50 for members)

Bring along a ukulele (borrowed if you don't already own one) and we'll provide what you need to dip your fingers into playing. (A digital tuner would be useful but not totally necessary for this workshop.)
