After you finish a Beginner Workshop what then?
Of course you can join a Ukestra but what if you just don’t feel ready to do that?
Or has it been months since you picked up the ukulele and you need a bit of a refresher?
Ukulele Entrée January-February 2024
We are running a 5 week Ukulele Entrée Course on Tuesday evenings starting 23 January 2024. Please express interest on the form below. The venue is the Cricketers Arms Hotel in Cooks Hill. More details below the form.

When? 5:45pm-7:30pm (with a 10 minute drink break – get to know your uke buddies!)
Dates: Tuesdays – 23 & 30 January, 6, 13, 20 February 2024
Teachers: Mark (and maybe John or Jane)
Cost: Five weeks for $125. If you wish to pay for only a few, each session costs $30.
If you decide to attend other ukestras during the week, (which we encourage you to do), then you only pay $10 for these additional sessions.
In 5 weeks you learn:
- Up to 15 chords and how to move your fingers efficiently around the fret board
- Strumming techniques (including muting and the four finger strum)
- Some finger picking, a few bar chords and riff playing
- Basic musical tab and musical notation (notes)
- The notes on the ukulele in the home position (i.e. the first four frets)
(And then? Join one of our very relaxed ukestras (you’ve got 6 to choose from).
UKULELES: We can lend you a uke in the first few weeks until you find one you like.
Once we have sufficient interest, you can confirm your place by making a direct deposit into our Newcastle Perm account.
