Summer Ukulele Class

Beginning Ukulele is a playful group class perfect for children interested in guitar whose fingers are still need to grow a bit. In a fun, social setting, students learn the basics of ukulele playing while building essential music fundamentals like rhythm, melody, and listening skills that transfer to any instrument.
