Ukulele for Novices: Building Our Repertoire

Ukulele Class for Novices: Building Your Repertoire

with David Licastro

Wednedays: 3:30-5:00 PM

July 5, 12, 19 & 26 (this is a four week class) 

To ensure our ability to continue running low cost classes at Create Space, we are now asking people to make a $10 donation per class session--that would be $40 for this four week class. For information on how to make your donation, look below David Licastro's bio. [If you are unable to pay $10 per class session you are welcome to come no matter what you can pay!)

Do you have some basic experience playing ukulele and want to learn more? Or perhaps you’ve put your uke down and want to get started again? This class is for people who have a basic knowledge of uke playing--how to hold and tune your instrument, play some basic chords, and know how to play along with some easy songs. (Anyone who attended the beginner's class at Create Space in May or October qualifies.) It’s also for people of any experience who want to play along with a group. This class will keep you motivated and engage you fully in the fun of playing songs with a group of players. In each session we will do skill building with a special focus on playing songs.

It's highly recommended to buy The Daily Ukulele book ($30 from Amazon) if you are able. Also bring a music stand, ukulele, and tuner (if you have one).

David Licastro is a celebrated local musician who has been teaching private music lessons and classes since the age of 17.
