"THE UKULELE IS A PORTAL THROUGH WHICH ONLY HAPPY PEOPLE CAN PASS"

2019 Workshop Program

A Guide to Skill Levels
Our aim is to provide you with a variety of workshops that are enjoyable as well as educational.  With this in mind, we offer workshops designed for players with different skill levels.  The minimum skill levels for the various workshops are:
  • Novice - You are new to the ukulele.  We recommended that you attend Chris Bodey’s Ukulele for Beginners workshop on Saturday morning, where you can acquire the skills needed for Basic level workshops later on.
  • Basic - You are relatively new to the ukulele and can play at least four chords. You have mastered some basic strums.
  • Intermediate - You can comfortably play more than ten chords and can vary your strumming style. You have tried picking techniques and understand the concept of tab but lack confidence.
  • All levels - You are at least at basic level. There will be workshop elements or variations to suit both basic and intermediate levels.
