About this Event
8 classes, once per week
Thursdays, April 16 - June 4
7:00 - 8:00 pm -- $235
In hard times, we turn to each other for comfort, strength, and help. Music offers us the powerful reminder that we are so much more than the mere sum of our parts!
This mixed-level class is designed for a wide range of musicians looking for opportunities to make music in community: 'ukulele, baritone uke, guitar, and other strummers are welcome, as well as vocalists. We'll learn a variety of songs about and for the empowerment of communities, from resonant spirituals like "Wade in the Water" to campfire favorites like "Lean on Me", as well as new songs emerging from current community action like the Singing Resistance movement.
In addition to learning the basics of playing and singing each song, we'll focus on deepening our musicality skills: learning and playing by ear (without music), memorizing lyrics, singing vocal harmonies, and leading or performing a song in a public setting. Instruction will be adapted to accommodate varying levels of experience and comfort with these skills, offering a wide range of challenges and learning opportunities. Participants will receive a weekly recap email and links to practice videos to support their weekly practice between classes.
