Ever wanted to play a fun and simple to learn instrument? Were you given a uke but didn't know what to do? Come to the Altoona Area Public Library on April 9th from 5:30-6:30 for an introductory workshop on the Ukulele. Taught by members of the Allegheny Ukulele Kollective, this 1-hour hands-on workshop will give you the basics to get started playing this delightful Hawaiian instrument.
This class will cover:
- History of the Ukulele
- Proper Instrument Position
- Tuning your instrument
- Basic Chords
- Basic Strumming
Each student will be able to play 2 or 3 simple songs at the end of the workshop. We'll provide chord and song sheets that the students can take home with them.
We have some ukuleles available to lend during the workshop. Please let us know when you register if you need an instrument.
Class size is limited to 15 loaners; 25 students max.
Cost: $5/person
To register, please call the Altoona Area Public Library at (814) 946-0417. Be sure to let them know if you are bringing a uke or will need to borrow one!
