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 2025
We are running a 5 week Ukulele Entrée Course on Sunday mornings starting 12 January 2025. Please express interest on the form below.
Details
Where? Carrington Bowling Club
When? 10-12midday (with a 10 minute drink break – get to know your uke buddies!)
Dates: Sundays – 12 & 19 January, 2, 16, 23 February 2024
Teachers: Mark (and maybe 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.
Regular Sunday Ukestrans may also be permitted to attend, but we will have a focus upon newbies, with additional staff if the numbers warrant it.
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.
