The Complete Ukulele Musician (Workshop)

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be part of a vibrant ukulele ensemble?

Acclaimed musician and educator Amber Rozel will lead a full day of inspiring workshops, welcoming both individual players and established ukulele groups. With warmth, humor, and extraordinary musicianship, Amber will help you learn by ear, understand chords, sing in harmony, play in ensemble, and perform with confidence - all while discovering the joy of making music in community.

Together, you'll learn ensemble arrangements to bring home to your own ukulele circles, enriching future jams and performances with fresh inspiration. As the day unfolds, the workshops naturally build toward an uplifting evening concert, where participants will take the stage together to share the music they've created. Your workshop registration includes admission to the concert; and friends, family, and the wider community are warmly invited to the evening performances. 

Whether you're hoping to deepen your musical skills, meet fellow ukulele enthusiasts, or simply delight in the experience of making music en group, The Complete Ukulele Musician promises a day filled with discovery, laughter, and the unmistakable magic that happens when many hearts - and many ukuleles - play as one.

Invite your family and friends to the evening show, which will also include a special performance by Amber!
