Ukulele Workshops & Jam Sessions in Historic Lower Mills: Two Chord Songs
Details
• What we'll do
Our theme this evening is TWO CHORD SONGS. It's a great opportunity for beginners to practice switching between two chords. For players accustomed to switching, you can focus on improving your strumming technique. Do you know the air stroke and the wham stroke?
Either way, if you'd like to prepare for the 8 o'clock jam session, come to the 7 pm workshop and get coaching. If you are a total beginner who just bought your ukulele, all you need is to learn how to tune and hold it, and you'll be on your way.
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).
