Workshop Descriptions:

Cynthia Kinnunen

Like, Totally 80s! Skills & Songbook Builder 

Four totally tubular chords might get you there most of the time but adding some extra musical bits can really bring a song to life. In this workshop, we’ll explore a few radio favourites from the 80s and take them up a notch with some rhythm techniques and musical extras. Ukulele to the max, dude.

Manitoba Hal

Ukulele At The Crossroads - Blues Workshop

Legend has it that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads at midnight in order to learn to play the blues. Fortunately you don’t have to do that. You too can learn the blues and no voodoo rituals or selling of your soul is needed! Manitoba Hal will take you through the 12 bar blues progression. Show you a few tricks and tips and have you strumming your favourite blues in no time. 

James Hill

James says he has something jazzy planned! More info as we get closer!
