Adult class for brand new Beginners (Adults, Teens, and Kids over 10 are welcome with an adult learner). No music experience necessary!  We will cover 4 basic chords, 2 rhythms and simple songs.  Ukuleles are popular around the world because of their ease of playing, wonderful sound, portability and musical versatility.  They are also the best instrument for group playing and singing.  Playing music and singing has been shown to reduce stress and strengthen the immune system, and learning an instrument is great for the adult brain!  Household member, 1/2 price.  Handouts and webpage support (videos, etc) included.  All you need is a ukulele and a clip-on tuner (or free tuning app on your phone).   REGISTER    Call Amy if you would like advice about purchasing an instrument, or visit Indie Music in Amherst, NH.  I have some to loan out while you think about what type you wish to buy.  Required Text:  The Daily Ukulele by Liz and Jim Beloff:  365 Songs for Daily Living.   You will need this book by October.
