KPCU | Education at KPC

Tuesdays 6:30pm - 7:30pm starting March 3 (four-week class).

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:

March 3
March 10
March 17
March 24
