Group email: Ukelele - Beginners group
When: Second Thursday 1.30 - 2.30pm and Fourth Thursday 10.30 - 11.30am
Venue: St Michael's Church Hall

The group will  meet twice a month on the second Thursday in the afternoon, and on the fourth Thursday in the morning.

A Group for beginners will take place 1.30 - 2.30pm on the 2nd Thursday, and 10.30 - 11.30am on the 4th Thursday. We'll look at how to hold, tune and strum the ukulele, together with a few very basic chords. 

The emphasis will be on FUN, not perfection, so come along and have a go.  We'll be playing fun, upbeat songs that everyone will know.  Once beginners have grasped the fundamentals of playing the ukulele, they can of course move on to the improvers Group.  No musical knowledge is required. 

Music sheets will be provided, and the cost will be £2 per session to go towards printing etc, which will also cover the usual hot drink and biscuit.

You will need to bring your own ukulele but there will be a few available for first timers to see if you like playing.  You will also need to bring a music stand (readily available from Amazon or other suppliers, from around £12).
