Gentle Music Theory for 'Ukulele Players
Welcome to the North Country Ukulele Group page!
If you are in northern New Hampshire (Franconia area), I host jam sessions for all skill levels. Even if you don't know how to play or own a 'ukulele, join us! I have loaner instruments and will teach you what you need to know to be playing with us by the end of your first jam. You can drop in anytime--no commitment to be at all of them. Other instruments are welcome to join us to round out our sound.
We meet almost every other Thursday at 5:30 for beginner lessons and 6:00 for an hour-long jam session. Join our mailing list to stay up-to-date.
I post information and links here to help our North Country players learn and improve their skills. Copies of handouts and other materials can be found in our Google drive.
