Description

Try your hand – well, hands – at playing the ukulele!

 

Boone Graham is offering an amazing opportunity to learn to play the ukulele and improve your skills by playing with others in a fun and friendly environment. A small number of ukuleles will be available during class time. If you have your own, please bring it.

 

During this course you will be gently introduced to ukulele playing including the parts of the ukulele (e.g., strings, frets) and how to “read” songs and chord charts. You will receive instruction specific to “play-along”s that are easy-to-learn, simple songs. Boone will provide tips and techniques on playing and the end of each class will feature playing songs with the whole group. Boone will also email information each week on playing the ukulele and songs to practice.
