Learn how to produce beautiful music using only your ukulele!


We all know that the ukulele is a wonderful instrument to accompany songs while we sing. Did you know that you can play full songs with just a ukulele too? In this eight-week course, you will learn everything you need to play songs without taking second place to your voice. You'll learn how to fingerpick the individual notes of a melody, play different accompaniment patterns, finger and switch chords more efficiently and accurately, and combine the melody with the harmony.


Most importantly, you'll make music with others in a supportive, friendly environment.


All skill levels are welcome! The only prerequisite is that you are able to tune your ukulele.


The book 12 Timeless Love Songs: Fingerstyle Ukulele Chord Melody Arrangements by Anne Ku will be given to registered students at the end of the course after full participation.


To get the most out of this free course, your 100% attendance and participation is required.


Class starts promptly at 6:00 PM. Participants must arrive 15-30 minutes early to set up.


Ukuleles will be available to borrow and take home for the duration of the series, while supplies last. Participants must have a valid Boston Public Library card in order to take home a ukulele.


Registration is required. Email Sarah at [email protected] to reserve your spot.


ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Anne Ku believes that the ukulele is the easiest and fastest way to make music and connect with others. After earning her Master of Arts in Music, with research on ukulele song sheets, she started uke clubs and taught at adult education centers in the Greater Boston area and ukulele festivals. She hosts 3 Chord Thursdays, a thematic song session in Zoom with nearly 4,000 members in Facebook and monthly meet-ups in Zoom for Ukulele Instructors International.


This series is made possible by a grant funded by the Board of Trustees of the Boston Public Library.
