Beginners Classes

There are no new courses planned this year, but  if enough people apply we may run a class early next year. If interested, please enter your details on the Contact page and we will get back to you. We can provide individual, private lessons if required.

We have run many classes in the past for complete beginners and many are now playing in the main group. We start with the basics of how to hold and tune your ukulele, how to strum and play simple chords while singing songs. Over a ten-week course, we work though the Beginners Book that can be printed off from the Song Books page. All ages are welcome at our classes, but juniors, 16 and under, must be accompanied by an adult. There is no need to read music or have any technical knowledge, just have fun and enjoy playing.

We can supply ukuleles to borrow for the start of a course, but if you want to buy, we recommend a basic soprano ukulele from between £25.00 and £60.00. Though if you have large fingers, you might find a tenor ukulele easier. We also recommend buying a clip-on tuner, costing around £7.00. Go to the Links page to see suppliers. You can always drop in on a Monday to see us and ask for advice. Members often have ukuleles for sale.
