Whether you’re a seasoned singer or just someone who loves to jam out in the car, this is your chance to sing loud, make new friends, and feel the rush of Coldplay's eclectic energy!

Ukulele Start-Up (Fall 2025)
with Wes Weddell

Tuesdays 6:30pm - 7:30pm starting November 4, 2025 (4 week class)
*Note* No class on November 25
The cheerful ukulele may be just what we need during these disruptive times, so let’s dig in! This class for total beginners will balance demonstration with opportunities for students to play, starting from easy chords used in familiar songs and building technique from there. Along the way we’ll address how to hold it, tune it, strum it, and what you can do to practice on your own. Successive weeks will balance incorporating new skills with returning to familiar examples. No previous experience necessary. Students should have their own instrument to use during class.
Class Dates: November 4, 11, 18, and December 2
