What we’re about
Ukulele Friends is all about having fun while learning the ukulele and improving our playing skills. We welcome all skill levels from beginning to advanced and love sharing what we know about this fun little instrument. Playing the ukulele can relieve stress and bring communities together. It's also a pastime that is wholesome and appropriate for any age.
We meet every two weeks at the San Diego Music Studio in San Marcos California from 12:00 to 2:00. Come join us for some laughs, music, good friends, and sometimes we have cookies.

Hello to all, and welcome to the "Almost June" meetup. I am feeling a tropical vibe in the air, and can almost taste the blue umbrella drinks waiting for us in the little grass shack down by the beach!
Even if we can't be on a white sandy beach today, we can imagine what it would be like. Perhaps some of these songs will put you in the mood to spend the rest of the day island style.
Here is the list of the songs we will start with today. As usual, the 2nd half of the Meetup we will go around the group so you can pick some of your favorite songs for the group to play.
- Yellow Bird - Jamaica Farewell
- Little Grass Shack - Little Brown Gal
- Three Little Birds
- Island Style
- Moloka'i Slide
- Kokomo
- One Paddle, Two Paddle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd5Nkd8cRw0)
