Dust off that ukulele sitting in the corner, borrow one from a friend, indulge a secret desire on Amazon, or celebrate your luck at a neighborhood garage sale! You deserve the pleasure of joining this uplifting four-week series designed for beginners to explore the ukulele as a tool for mindfulness, creativity, and fun. Learn simple chords, melodies, and familiar tunes while discovering how sound, breath, and rhythm can bring calm and connection. Come as you are—no musical background required! (A limited number of ukuleles are available; please note this when you enroll.)
