WHAT IS A …                        ?

A ukestra is an ukulele orchestra. Our ukestras are fun, low stress and entertaining places to learn music together. Teachers from The Sum of the Parts (music) are experienced musicians who encourage you to find your own level of achievement.

Making music together is the perfect antidote to the feeling that you will never be able to play music. You can. What’s more, you’ll enjoy the company of others.

Talk to us about the various options that exist for performing. It will push you that little bit further (if that’s what you want).

Our Weekly Timetable

Wednesday Night @ The Cricketers in Cooks Hill   6-8pm

Thursday Night – Ukestra 7-9pm 

A face-to-face ukestra at the Carrington Bowlo with Mark and Jane. Slightly more rambunctious (that’d be the beer/wine factor vs. the daytime coffees). A younger demographic doing the sorts of songs that younger folk like. This is a mid level ukestra with mixed level repertoire (easy and hard), for all levels of players.

Saturday Morning – Newkestra 10-12pm 

A face-to-face Newkestra at the Carrington Bowlo with Jane and Mark. Perpetually focussed on being a little easier for newbies, whilst still providing challenges for the more experienced.
