An informal group of UKULELE enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels who play or, want to learn to play the Ukulele. Learn from more experienced players & help those with less experience. Share songs, playing tips while meeting other ukulele lovers. Why play the ukulele? The ukulele is the happiest, most accessible, and easiest string instrument to learn. Also, ukulele is the perfect sing along instrument. Simply put, the ukulele is fun to play!
A group to come together and "jam" on the Ukulele (all ages, skills and Ukulele sizes welcome). No particular level of experience is needed, just play the notes and chords that you can manage. The Ukulele is a great instrument for beginners and experienced players alike. (Many times easer to learn to strum than the the guitar) Within a few minutes you can learn a few songs. And playing with a group will push you to learn more, while meeting new friends.
