Starting in October: Music Literacy using our favorite instrument - the ukulele!
Marianne will teach a ten-week music literacy class using the James Hill
Ukulele in the Classroom book 1. Marianne is pursuing official certification to teach the James Hill classroom method and you can help by participating in this inaugural class. I have homework - you have home work. Funny how that works.
Ever wanted to learn music from the ground up. Maybe start all over after traumatic childhood music lessons? Here is your chance to start at the beginning. Learn to read music, play melody, understand chord harmony, use rhythm, and sing. If you are interested please write to Marianne at pua@teleport.com. More info to come, i.e., dates, location, cost.
