Ukulele Beginners
Church of the Holy Angels - 61 Lilliput Road, Lilliput, Poole, BH14 8JX
Please see day and time information on the Class Finder page
This class is for complete beginners, who have a good sense of humour. It will start with how to tune and hold the ukulele and how to strum a few basic chords to accompany songs. Good for multitasking and exercising ‘the little grey cells’ whilst trying to look at the song on the page, sing and use both hands. You do not have to be able to read music, but it helps if you can count!
Please phone Ann Smith on 700675 for more details of this class.

InSpired Ukuleles
St Joseph & St Walburga RC Church - 2a Archway Road, Parkstone, Poole, BH14 9AZ
Please see day and time information on the Class Finder page
This class is aimed at players who feel comfortable handling their ukulele and want to get some more experience, mix with people from other groups and develop self-confidence. There is no formal teaching and you do not need to read music. We'll be strumming and singing and, along the way, you're bound to pick up hints and tips from each other. And who knows where this might lead - in 2017, I played with the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. OK, there were a couple of hundred of us, but I shamelessly put it on my CV!

Postmodern Uke Box
St Joseph & St Walburga RC Church - 2a Archway Road, Parkstone, Poole, BH14 9AZ
Please see day and time information on the Class Finder page
This class is suitable for people who are already confident with the most common chords and enjoy singing in a group setting. We have a go at songs that stretch players a little and add to their skill. Some have chords that have daunting names but aren't actually difficult to play, especially if you're willing to practise. Some have an optional picked intro or riff. The more you put in yourself, the more you'll get out. The main aim is to have fun playing together and trading tips. It's a singalong, not a performance.
