A 30-minute practice session follows the class. Students should wear comfortable clothing and bring clean, smooth-soled shoes to change into at the class venue to keep the floor clean. Class meets at The Dance Hall, 7 Walker St., Kittery.

Is your ukulele playing getting rusty? Not enough time to keep up with it? Here is your chance to refresh your knowledge and re-energize your playing. You might even step up your skill level a notch! Using his song-based approach, Duncan Perry, our popular instructor, will review the basics, help you work out kinks, and time permitting, add a new technique or two to your ukulele tool box. To enroll in this session, you should be able to make smooth chord transitions, while strumming in the Key of C, and have a serviceable soprano, concert, or tenor size instrument. So, get ukecited again, ignite your playing and sign up for this class.

This little instrument is versatile and a blast to play (with a bit of practice, of course). On it you can knock out folk tunes, rock, samba, blues, pop, country, and classical music, as well as songs grandma knows. The ukulele can go most anywhere with you because it’s small and light weight. Duncan, a multi-instrumentalist who has been playing ukulele for 11 years, will teach you to play familiar music using common chords and basic strumming and picking techniques. You do not need to know how to read music.  However, you must have a playable soprano, concert or tenor size ukulele (no baritones please) and an electronic tuner or tuning app on you iPhone or iPad.  If you don’t own a ukulele, please contact the Kittery Adult Education Office for helpful information about buying one. Then grab your uke and get ready for a low-stress, fun musical adventure!
