Hello Ukesters!
I am happy to announce the Autumn series of Ukulele Lessons for Beginners, starting 30 March, 2021. The course is designed for people who would like to play the ukulele but don’t know where to start. This easy paced program consists of 6 lessons which will give you all the basics – how to tune the strings, most frequently used chords, strumming techniques and how to play a variety of songs. The 1½ hour lessons are sequential, so there will need to be a commitment to attend all six lessons.
By the end of the course you should be able to confidently play about 15 chords and dozens of songs.
The course is led by Michael Rosenberg (that’s me), a qualified teacher with many years of guitar and ukulele experience. I am co-organiser and musical director of Ukuleles Canberra and URoC (Ukulele Republic of Canberra) and have taught ukulele to many hundreds of students over the last twelve years.
The lessons will be held on Tuesday evenings, from 7:00 – 8:30 at the Brindabella Room at St James Church, Curtin and will have a maximum of 12 participants
The dates are:
March 30, April 6, 13, 20, 27 May 4. The cost for all six lessons is $120, payable in cash at the first lesson, which covers room hire, all notes and weekly dropbox links to videos and audios of the techniques and songs we cover in each lesson.
Please make sure you RSVP on the club website to ensure a place for yourself as the class size is limited to 12 participants.
It is important that you have your own ukulele, but if you don’t, please contact me on[masked] or through the website any time to take advantage of my 20 - 25% discount at the music shop.
If you are unsure as to whether or not you want to commit to buying a ukulele before you know whether you like playing it, I have two ukuleles that I hire out. Ask me for details.
To enrol, simply click the “I’m going” box in this email, or click the red heading of this email and RSVP on the page.
Hope to see you there.
Cheers,
Michael Rosenberg
