    • Beginners   Leader:  Michael Bell
    Michael will help you with the basics like getting your fingers around some of those tricky chords & keeping a steady strumming rhythm.  Here’s your chance to ask those questions you might feel embarrassed to ask in the big group.   
    • Rhythm & Strumming    Leader: Sally Baker
    Learn to read simple rhythms and incorporate them into your strumming patterns or finger picking. 
    • Harmony Singing   Leader: Shirley Biggs
    For experienced harmony makers and beginners. Learn a simple method (single string harmony) to find a harmony and also practise keeping the melody strong against a harmony.
    • Transposing   Leader: Marian De Souza
    Revise the simple steps to transposition and also have all your questions answered about keys and their chord relationships. 
    • Reading TABs   Leader: Carolyn Coxhead
    Unlock a whole new way of playing your ukulele. 
    Learn to read and play simple tabs.  (that’s playing single notes on the uke rather than chords.)  
    Learn to finger-pick melodies and strumming patterns.
