What you need for the Beginner Class starting October 21, 2018 (1:00 - 1:45)
  • Fee: $3.00 for each session
  • A Standard tuning ukulele - G-C-E-A tuning - no Baritones please. Your instrument must be in playable condition which means the tuning pegs work (they don't slip) and the strings are relatively new. Standard ukuleles come in three sizes: soprano, concert, and tenor. I recommend either the concert or tenor because they are easier to play. Watch this video if you want more information before you buy:
  • A digital tuner, preferably one that is calibrated for ukulele tuning and clips onto the ukulele headstock. Check out the Snark SN-6X or the Kala Klipz Clip-On Tuners. You can find them online or in local music stores.
  • A music stand and a pencil
  • Available for purchase: Beginner Book:  Alfred's Teach Yourself to Play Ukulele  $10
 
For the Ukulele Group Jam and sing along sessions: 
  • Fee for Fall/Winter sessions starting October 21, 2018 (2:00 - 3:30): Fee $3.00
