SS25-422 Ukulele for Beginners and Intermediates
Stillwater | Available (Membership Required)
Pair your love of learning with the joy of music for a great combination. The ukulele is an easy instrument to learn, and this course will provide instant gratification of playing songs right away. You’ll use those basics to build what you need to continue learning. Each session includes hands-on strumming, one-on-one time with instructors and experienced volunteers, plus a sing-along and strum-along session using learned chords. Intermediate players can break off with an instructor for more advanced guidance, meeting them at their skill level and supporting further progress.
