Ukulele
Music & Theater

Beginning: Starting with tuning and holding your ukulele, learn the basics quickly and start playing songs you love right away. Simple chords will have you sounding great after just one class. Soon you’ll have a repertoire of popular songs from many genres. Find ukulele chord charts, strum and sing at the same time, and strum rhythmically with confidence. For absolute beginners only. Continuing: Keep building your chord vocabulary including barre chords while we strum rhythms across a variety of genres and enhance your strumming with cool percussive techniques. We’ll practice switching chords more quickly and also explore fingerstyle uke with tablature for plucking cool rhythmic patterns and some recognizable riffs and melodies. For those with some experience who are comfortable strumming up and down. Please note: Bring your own ukulele. A clip-on tuner is recommended but not required.

Banjo
Music & Theater

Learn to play the banjo in the old time clawhammer style. Beginning: For beginners and those with a bit of experience. We’ll start with right hand technique and chords. The goal will be to learn a handful of melodies that people actually play in open G and, hopefully, in double C and G modal tuning. Learning by ear will be stressed but handouts of banjo tab will also be available. Continuing: For clawhammer banjo players who can already play at least a handful of tunes and who are looking to learn more in G, G modal, and in double C tuning. We will focus on the right hand technique as well so that you can get the best sound that you can. Note: Students must bring their own banjo.
