Ukulele 101

Ages: 10+

The ukulele is one of the easiest, least expensive, and most enjoyable instruments you can learn to play. Research has revealed that learning to play an instrument not only sharpens thinking skills but may also slow the aging process.  Gain the confidence you need to play with others. The Ukulele Workbook (7th edition) is enhanced through an online companion website that allows you to play along with the actual songs long after the class is over. 

Materials:

• Bring your ukulele! Don't own a ukulele? No problem, we have loaners you can use during class.
• Students can purchase the Ukulele Workbook in advance at: https://ukulelesongbook.com/workbook
  • The instructor will have a few on hand for any last minute registrations (fee is $25, not included in registration)

"Brian's workshop was fantastic! My daughter and I took it together, now we can't stop playing. Easy to follow and great teaching - looking forward to the next one!" ~ Kim A. 

"I came unsure if my old fingers could play the uke. Brian's course helped me be confident and successful and able to play. I enjoyed playing and learning so much. He was patient and made the class relaxing and fun. I'm motivated to continue!" ~ Sandy B. 

"My daughter (she's 10) and I just completed Brian's workshop at Cuesta College. It was a wonderful experience! We learned very practical fundamental skills and were quickly playing and singing songs well before the course was over. We will definitely take more classes from Brian in the future, and bring the rest of the family along next time!" ~Naomi M. 

"Brian Schwartz is a wonderful teacher.  He gave us a whole lot of information, he is low key, and the class was a lot of fun. I highly recommend him!" ~ Kathie W.
