What you'll do
Easy to pick up, and hard to put down, the humble ukulele is the perfect instrument for those wanting to up their musical game. With a few simple chords, you can play along to thousands of tunes and jam along with other musos. The world is your musical oyster.
This class has one thing in mind. Getting you playing as quickly as possible while covering all good practices to let you develop into a player for the rest of your days. The class starts right at the basics and quickly develops. Positions and holding, strums, melody, and chord shapes are covered as they develop into simple songs, taking a detour into the chord theory and quite a few laughs.We’ll cover basic strum patterns, chord structure, and swing (all easier than you think with some proper guidance) and we’ll have you playing a sweet song in no time. Come for the music class, stay for the dad jokes. Tom The Pom is our resident musical expert, with a side of stand-up comedian so get ready for a fun-filled night learning the mightiest little instrument- the ukulele!Please note: This class requires at least five students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class.Please note: This venue is located on the first floor via a flight of stairs and does not have wheelchair accessibility.
