​Learn to play the ukulele and have fun!


Location: Bellingham Senior Center, 315 Halleck St, Bellingham WA 98225
(phone: 360-733-4030)
 
April classes at the Bellingham Senior Center are open to all levels of players
who are age 50 and older. Our goal is to enjoy life, encourage one another, and
be gentle with ourselves while learning. 


Ukulele Beginner 1
Come have fun! If you don’t own a ukulele, that’s fine, we have loaner ukes for class time. We’ll be casually learning the very beginning basics in an encouraging, gentle atmosphere. Topics we may discuss: how to hold a uke, thumb strumming, down-stroke four and three rhythm patterns, tabs, the chords C, F & G. Questions are appreciated. You’re welcome to sing along to the songs, strum if you like, or relax by sitting back and listening to learn.
You succeed by just showing up! We will be friends who help each other. We look forward to seeing you!

Wednesdays, April 12, 19, 26.
2:30-3:00pm in the Coffee Bar: questions welcome, leader will assist tuning up the ukes.
3:00-4:00pm in Room #16 : play time!

Taken a ukulele class before? Come have fun in an encouraging and gentle environment! We’ll be reviewing the C, F & G chords, then maybe learn new chords A & D. Your questions will always be appreciated. Topics we may discuss and practice: pluck strumming, up and down stroke patterns, and various song styles. You’re welcome to sing along with the songs, strum if you like, or sit back relax and listen to learn. You succeed by just showing up! Hey, maybe you’ll find a new friend or two as well. We look forward to seeing you!
