play uku-lele!
We can offer ukulele-playing meetings at two different levels.
Level One meetings teach folks with no experience how to play popular four chord songs, loaner ukes provided, no prior experience needed. This can be a fun activity for your private group, or with on-going practice of our materials you can gain a skill for life. Nominal fee may be waived for select non-profit social service agencies..
Our Level Two meeting is for folks who already know how to play ukulele in which we play a range of popular songs.
We use a very fun play along video format that has been likened to karaoke; uke-oke? kara-ukey?
We also offer sequential lessons to help your group achieve a solid life-long skill level.

-For *adults to ages 11*
We may hold occasional themed meetings open to the public to be announced.
We cover how to hold and strum a ukulele, and how to play chords C, Am, F, & G7 and then go right into playing songs!
Most are able to play songs using these chords this quickly, some pick it up on the second visit. After your first visit it won't hurt to arrive later just to join in the playing and singing and to practice playing these easy songs.
*Our content is for the learning style of adults to adolescents. Unfortunately we don't have the specialized skills or resources to also offer a program for younger children.

Using this playlist of lesson videos and easy starter songs you can get started playing in the shortest amount of time, even with no experience. It is also a good preview, or review of what we teach in our Level One meetings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ESYlESDJ90&list=PLIsPng8GwO1L0DAyU_Y0Zh0LUBLp4-8Nx
Our Lvl 2 Playlists are used in our Level 2 meetings and are for folks who know how to play. Songs range from an easy next step up for new player from the A101 playlist, to increasingly more interesting using more chords and rhythmic complexity.
