Have you ever wanted to learn an instrument, but never had the time or were convinced it was too late? Now is your chance to experience the joy of music-making! In this weekly group class, you will learn to make music on an accessible, cost-efficient, easy-to-learn, and just downright fun instrument-the ukulele!

Discover the joy of making music in a fun, relaxed group setting! This class will introduce the basics of playing the ukulele and guitar — no prior experience needed. You’ll learn tuning, simple chords, strumming patterns, and easy songs to play right away. Along the way, you’ll build confidence, improve coordination, and enjoy the benefits of making music together. Bring your own ukulele or guitar and get ready to strum! No experience, but lots of enthusiasm, required. Students must provide their own instruments. (For Ukuleles, Concert or Tenor-size Ukuleles recommended, Baritones welcome!).
Extend your ukulele practice with Teaching Artist Emily Bruso and fellow ukulele enthusiasts!
Join this welcoming, all-levels guitar class for adults and enjoy playing music together. Everyone works on the same songs, with guidance on how to adapt chords, strumming patterns, and techniques to suit your individual ability. The emphasis is on playing as a group, building skills at your own pace, and having fun with music in a supportive community.
