Heidi's class:
The UKE-LEAR FAMILY
Saturdays, Beginning Jul 9 (4 sessions)
Ukuleles are the ultimate holiday gift - portable, accessible and inexpensive. Here's an idea: once you have one - why not learn how to play it? This kid and family class will show you just what to do with that shiny new instrument! We'll start with simple 2- and 3-chord songs that will have everyone playing in the first lesson. Parents can accompany kids five and up, while kids eight and older are welcome on their own. Even parents are welcome on their own! Got a song you just have to play? Suggest it, and we'll work it out with you!
Heidi Swedberg 10:30-11:30am Saturdays, Starting Jul 9 $110
