What’s On Offer
UKE-Curious
Want to try the ukulele?
UKE-Curious is a great way to dip your toes into the world of uke and see if it’s right for you! This engaging hands-on, 2-hour workshop is designed especially for the beginner. You’ll learn a couple of easy chords, a simple strum pattern, and a few songs you can play and sing along to — all in one session. No ukulele? No worries! We can loan you one for the workshop.
UKE-Start
I’m Hooked! What’s Next?
UKE-Start is a relaxed, small-group session designed for players who already know a few basics and want to keep building their skills. (It’s the perfect next step if you’ve completed the UKE-Curious workshop!) It’s also great for anyone returning to the ukulele after a break and looking for a friendly refresher. Together, we’ll work on progressions, strumming and finger picking techniques, as well as an introduction to tablature plus more!
When: UKE-Start meets on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month, just before the NBUG Main Uke session. Bookings are required.
Cost: $10 for a 1-hour session.

UKE-Elevate
Ready to take a Uke-Deep Dive?
UKE-Elevate is designed for players who already have a solid grasp of the basics and are ready to take their skills to the next level. Whether you’re a Strummer or a Riffer, this group will help you grow. Each month, we’ll focus on just a few pieces of music at a time, diving into scales, techniques, and exploring multi-part arrangements. To get the most out of the sessions, a little practice between meetups will be expected so the group can progress together. While UKE-Elevate is a step up from a casual strum-along, the main goal is still learning with fun at the heart of it all!
When: UKE-Elevate meet on the first Friday of each month.
Cost: UKE-Bundles are available at the start of each term and casual attendance is $20 per session.

Workshops and More
What’s not to love about a workshop?
They’re a fantastic way to add new skills to your toolkit, boost your confidence, and deepen your enjoyment of the ukulele. So far, we’ve explored exciting new techniques with Cathy and Angie, The Wild Women of Anywhere Beach, and even found our rhythm in a fun drumming workshop with Carly from Groove Connections. Each session has brought something fresh, engaging, and inspiring to our playing. And the best part? More workshops are planned for 2026!
