Beginner Ukulele Course 2027

Start the year with music, new friends and a ukulele!

Always wanted to play an instrument? Join Stu for a friendly beginner ukulele course at Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club. With more than 15 years of ukulele teaching experience, Stu will guide you step by step as you build confidence, learn songs and enjoy making music with others.

The ukulele is small, portable and easy to bring into everyday life. This course is a chance to try something new, meet local people and become part of a welcoming musical community.

What you’ll learn

• Essential chords and how to change between them

• Rhythm and strumming to keep your songs moving

• An introduction to TAB (tablature) and melody playing

• Playing songs together in a relaxed, encouraging group

• Confidence to keep making music beyond the course

Printable course resources are included, so you can keep practising between sessions.

11, 18 and 25 January; 1, 8, 15 and 22 February; and 8 March 2027.

No session on Monday 1 March. We conclude on Monday 8 March with a celebratory concert to share what we’ve learned.
