Together, we’ll work on chord progressions, strumming and finger picking techniques, as well as an introduction to tablature plus more!

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.

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.
