This interactive, fun-filled, collaborative, practical, relaxed-pace class is designed for advanced BEGINNERS and intermediate players of all ages, as a safe and comfortable place to play with a group, at your own level, while refining skills and learning new chords, strums, and about 25 songs from many genres. More advanced players are welcome to play along with the class. This class is about participation, learning by playing, and sharing; not perfection. You’ll be most comfortable if you know 9 chords (C F G7 Am Dm G D7 A7 C7 ) and can transition fairly smoothly between them; or have the instructor’s permission. Bring your ukulele (GCEA tuned), tuner, picks (optional), music stand (optional), Olympia Senior Center Ukulele Music Book from previous classes (if you have one—if not one will be provided), a pencil … and your smile. Additional songs will be provided and contributed by participants as the class evolves. The DAILY UKULELE is a recommended music book. November 16 is a jam session in a public setting (location to be determined).
