Ukulele Group (X220)

X – Extracurricular

An informal gathering of players of the ukulele, including sopranos, tenors, baritones and basses. All skill levels welcome, but some familiarity with basic chords and strumming is helpful. We choose songs to learn, play and sing (mostly from The Daily Ukulele book), jam together, learn some new techniques and have fun. Required text: The Daily Ukulele: 365 Songs for Better Living by Liz and Jim Beloff, ISBN: 9781423477754.
