Ukulele 101

Never played the ukulele, but want to learn? Do you already have a ukulele but never knew where to begin? This class is for you!

A ukulele is a fun and engaging instrument—it's portable, fairly inexpensive, great for playing any type of music, and fun to sing along with. It's also a great starting point for learning other stringed instruments.

In this 6-week class, Johnny Hunt will use his PEANUT (People of Every Age Need Ukulele Training) curriculum to introduce you to the ukulele and how to start making music with it.

You'll learn all the basic chords in the most commonly-encountered keys, and with sufficient repetition, will be able to play many, many songs, including tunes of your own choosing!

This is also a great refresher class if you have a little bit of uke experience already.

No stress, no sweat, just smiles, and music fun for all.

Students must bring their own ukulele. If you do not have a ukulele but want to learn to play, contact Lifelong Learning for options.
