There will be no regular rehearsals of the Ukesters in January.
Instead there will be
Beginner Ukulele Lessons with Delores and Jacee.
Please share the info with your friends and neighbors who may want to learn to play. Current Ukesters are welcome to help out with the beginners or participate in the lessons for a refresher course.
WHEN: January 9, 16, 23, & 30 [All on Thursdays]
WHERE: Guntersville Library -1240 Obrig Ave.
TIME: 1:00 – 2:30 PM
COST: FREE!
You do not have to bring anything. Ukuleles for borrow will be available. If you have one already, bring it! We will be starting with the very basics, so no musical background is needed. Come and learn what fun this wonderful instrument can be!
Regular Ukesters rehearsals will resume February 6.
