Ukulele Class

1, 2, 3, Learn Ukulele! is an introductory class for beginning strummers, ages 7-13. We provide the ukuleles (there is a $10 rental fee due at the first class), so all your child needs to participate is the willingness to learn! Instructor Janel Metzger will introduce students to several basic chords, strum patterns, and songs over the course of this 8-week class. Each class session is 45 minutes in length.

All classes are held at Music Therapy Connections, located at 1234 Centre West Drive, Springfield, IL 62704.
