Isle of the Arts WORKSHOP: Ukulele! The pickleball of stringed instruments - Level 2
Wednesday, April 15, 2026 (1:00 PM - 2:30 PM) (PDT)
Description
WORKSHOP: Ukulele! The pickleball of stringed instruments - Level 2
1:00pm – 2:30pm | Jeannie Jay
Jeannie has taught beginner ukulele since 2014. Formatting songs for ukulele is a favorite hobby. She & her partner Lori are new to Gabriola, having left their band Pointy & the Birds, in Sitka AK.
Calypso strum boring? Ready to branch out? For beginners+, we will cover Neil Young and Jane Sibery with a waltz strum, Pink Floyd and Indigo Girls with strums I cannot name, and Norman Greenbaum’s Spirit in the Sky!
BRING: Ideally, your own ukulele. I do have a few extra I could lend out. A music stand would be helpful.
$25 | max 20 participants | age 12+
