Ukulele Classes
Did you know that in Hawaiian “ukulele” translates to “jumping fleas”? That’s because when the instrument was first introduced, people thought the players’ fingers looked like fleas jumping across the fretboard!
3rd-8th grade students are invited to come get their fingers jumpin’ as we jam out together in this class geared toward novice to intermediate players! Participants must provide their own ukulele, however, if assistance is needed with obtaining an instrument, please contact CMS Director, Mary Margaret Wilson at mmbw@udel.edu.
Common chord structures, strumming techniques, and songs will be taught as well as opportunities for students to create their own music! If you joined us in the past, you are welcome to re-enroll! The teachers will accommodate learners of varying experiences and levels!
Students will perform in our culminating concert, "Showcase", in Loudis Recital Hall!
Space is limited - don’t delay!
Enrollment is only confirmed, and thus a child’s spot in class is only reserved, after both registration AND payment are received. Registration and payment are 2-step processes. After registering, you will receive an email with a link to payment. Enrollment is confirmed in order that payments are received.
