Steel City Ukuleles

The ukulele jam sessions at the Mt Lebanon Public Library have been put on temporary hold for now. We hope to be back to making ukulele music in the near future.
Thanks - your friends at Steel City Ukuleles.

Currently, Little Band is invite only. Please contact Sunny via Meetup if you are interested.

So what is Little Band?

It is a breakout group from the general SCU membership that focuses on advanced ukulele ensemble music. The intent of LB is to advance your skills, work on more complex music, perform or busk in the future.

Here’s what you need to know to feel comfortable in this group.
* LB is best for the intermediate-advanced player.
* The songs and arrangements usually will have multiple parts with a mix of chords, finger-picking styles and strum patterns.
* Players need to be able to read tab and/or read music notation for the uke.
*Players need to have some experience and comfort with finger-picking and a variety of strums.
*Practice prior to sessions is expected.
