Ukulele Class

The Music Staff Studio Performing Arts Academy offers after-school ukulele lessons to all new and returning ukulele students at St. Paul Christian Academy. Teachers provide instruction on technique, notes, chords, and strumming to foster little players. The ukulele is very similar to the guitar but with fewer strings and gentler on small fingers. We will learn songs that everyone loves! Class curriculum encourages beginner musicians, while providing intermediate work for returning players. Join your friends and start jamming on the ukulele, with a short concert for family and friends at the end of the semester!
