About this Event

8 classes once per week

Thursdays, April 16 - June 4

6:00 - 6:45 pm -- $200

It's fairly easy for some folks to pick up the 'ukulele or the guitar and get themselves started. However, at some point, everyone needs a bit more guidance, perhaps some accountability, and the fun and support of a community to get them to the next level of their playing. That's exactly what this class is designed to do!

We'll start the term using popular and accessible songs to build up our repertoire of chords, keys, and ear-based musicality skills! By the end, we'll be working on putting these skills to use playing and singing at the same time, as well as making music in community with others. Participants will receive a weekly recap email and links to practice videos to support their weekly practice between classes.

Class materials will be prepared for 'ukulele, baritone uke, and guitar. Other strummers are welcome (banjo, mandolin, etc) and supported as the instructor is able, but it is helpful if you've got a chord chart handy for reference.
