  • Ukulele Irish Song Tune-Up - Have a lark of a time learning Irish songs in time for St. Patrick's Day! In this 3-week course, we'll learn to play some Irish favorites, learning new chords and getting that quintessential 6/8 Celtic timing down pat. Classes will be recorded and available to participants for at least a year. Before the start of the course, work on smooth transitions among these chords for best results: A, Am, C, D, Dm, D7, E7, Em, F, F#m, G, G7, Gm. NOTE to baritone uke players: We don't cover baritone chords in this class, but you are welcome to come if you have your own chord resources. Most techniques translate well to baritones. Geared for adults age 18+.
    WHEN: Wednesdays, 6:00-7:00 p.m., February 26, March 5 & 12 (Power outage make-up date: Friday, March 14, 6:00-7:00 p.m.) Sometimes classes last longer because we can't stop playing, so plan to stick around if you can!

    COST: $38.85 for 3 classes
