UKE-Start
I’m Hooked! What’s Next?
UKE‑Start is a relaxed, small‑group session for players who already know a few beginner basics and want to keep building confidence and consistency. It’s the perfect next step after a beginners course, a friendly refresher for anyone returning to the uke, and a supportive space for more experienced players who enjoy revisiting foundations and strengthening technique.
Together, we’ll explore chord progressions, strumming and finger‑picking techniques, and other early‑stage skills that help your playing feel smoother, more musical, and more confident. Everything is paced gently, with plenty of repetition and room to grow at your own speed.

UKE-Elevate
Ready to take your playing further?
UKE‑Elevate is for players who feel comfortable with the basics and are curious to explore more. Whether you love to strum, pick, riff, or try a bit of everything, this group helps you continue growing in a supportive, enjoyable way.
Each month we focus on a small selection of pieces, giving you time to settle into new skills like scales, fingerpicking, strum patterns and multi‑part arrangements. A little practice between meetups helps the group move forward together, but the emphasis is always on learning through fun, connection, and musical curiosity — not perfection.
When: UKE-Elevate meet on the first Friday of each month.
