Ukulele Workshops & Jam Sessions in Historic Lower Mills
Details
• What we'll do
Unique opportunity to play music in the former administrative building of the oldest chocolate factory in America. Walter Baker Artist Lofts has a permanent exhibit by the artists in residence. The common room (with temporary exhibit) is on the right-hand side of the front entrance. This is a grassroots initiative to introduce the joy of ukulele to this part of Boston. Location is visible from the Milton-T station (red line to Ashmont, then Mattanpan trolley).
CHOOSE the beginner's workshop or free jam session or both
7 - 8 pm Basic Ukulele Workshop $15. ($5 child if accompanied by adult) - or just come early to warm-up!
8 - 10 pm Thematic Jam Sessions - FREE
Each jam session (play & singalong) is thematic - with a PDF for download.
Today’s theme is two-chord songs. Besides nursery rhymes, did you know the following songs also have just two chords?
- Eleanor Rigby (C and Em)
- Uptown Funk (Dm7 and G7)
- Clementine
- Achy, Breaky Heart
Two-chord songs are a great way to learn new chords and how to switch between them.
