Learn to Strum: Uke for Young People


  • Finlay + Gage Musical Instruments 1677 Springfield Avenue Maplewood, NJ, 07040 United States (map)

If you know a young person that has had an interest in the ukulele, but has not started playing, then let Danielle Perrotta make all of the necessary introductions. OR, if you know a uke kid that is looking to learn a few more songs and expand their repertoire, then Learn + Strum is just what you need.

This 4-week class is focused on playing songs on the ukulele. One of the great things about the uke is how easy it is to play. After a very short time, new players are able to play the basic chords and it’s not long before they’re playing songs. Danielle will walk with the young people in this class, show them what they need to know and get them comfortable finding and learning songs to play on their own. This easy connection to music is a great way to open a person’s eyes to the how fun it can be.

Young people who are involved in music typically perform better in school and playing in a group situation improves social skills. Most of all, playing the uke is FUN. You can play uke when your 8 and when you’re 80 and it will still bring happiness. This class is a great way to get started or to improve.
