The ukulele is an excellent instrument on which to learn how to play music. It's relatively simple to learn, easy to tote around, inexpensive, super fun, and timelessly popular. In this ensemble, we will jump right into the fun stuff and learn how to play music on the ukulele. By the end of the course, students will be able to play a bunch of songs. We also encourage singing! Students will bring their own ukulele. No prior musical experience is necessary, and you do not need to be able to read music. Suitable for adults who are absolute beginners. This course requires pre-registration.
