Question 1

Do I need to buy a ukulele for the course?

Accepted Answer

No.  We have 20 ukuleles for use during class to those who are registered.  If you have your own please bring it!  As with anything repetition and practice will lead to proficiency so being able to practice your newly learned skills at home definitely helps!

Question 2

Do I need to know how to read music or have played an instrument prior?

Accepted Answer

No! This class is for the absolute beginner.

Question 3

Is there a fee?

Accepted Answer

Thanks to a commission from Culture Within Newham's "Summer of Wellbeing" there is no fee!

Question 4

Is there a minimum age range?

Accepted Answer

Class is open to 9yrs +.  Children under 12yrs will need to be accompanied by an adult.  Why not sign up and learn together!

Question 5

If I have prior ukulele experience can I join?

Accepted Answer

Sure!  The class is aimed at the true beginner and will be paced according.  If you don't mind the refresher and helping a beginner out occasionally, you are more than welcome to join!

Question 6

What if I cannot make all 12 sessions?

Accepted Answer

While there is no commitment, the registration is for reserving a ukulele in class, so please let me know if you cannot make it so I can reallocate the ukulele for that week.  You can catch up with 1-2 missed lessons but more than that may be a challenge.

Question 7

Can I bring my dog?

Accepted Answer

While my dog Ellie loves hearing me play, dogs (except service animals) are not allowed in the community garden.  There is a resident cat that comes in and out of the garden at will and may make an appearance.  My dog will be filing a complaint about the unfairness. :)

Question 8

Does registering reserve me a ukulele?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but at 10:40am I will need to reallocate your ukulele to someone waiting, so don't be late!  :)

Question 9

Can I take a ukulele home to practice?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately ukuleles are only for in class use.  Purchasing a ukulele for home use is a great investment if you would like to practice during the week.
