Fireside Sip & Strum Ukulele Class​
​​
Have you ever wanted to play music around a campfire? Now's your chance! Join us on November 15th for a fun fireside ukulele class- Christmas themed! While this class will not be a true beginner class, it will not be a full intermediate class either. If you've attended one of our 3 week classes, you'll be good for this class. If you've never taken our class before but know the C, Am, F, and G chords, you'll be fine in this class too. During this one evening, 3 hour class and jam, we will spend time learning Christmas songs with a few strum patterns before we jam around the fireside. We will also make some time to enjoy s'mores by the fire, along with complimentary beer, wine, and water. When you sign up, be sure to vote for your favorite Christmas songs! Grab your favorite Christmas shirt (if you like) and your uke for a fun and easy-going evening of sippin' and strummin' with Beachside Music Lessons & Therapy!
