Uke Can Do It!
suggested grades completed: 3-6
dates and times: June 22-25, 1pm-2pm
We're taking the joy of ukulele online! Designed for students with some ukulele experience, this camp will introduce new chords, rhythm patterns, and songs to students while developing an understanding of individual practice techniques. A properly-tuned ukulele is recommended to get the most out of the camp.
