HOW DOES UKULELE CLUB WORK?

• It's FREE of Charge (We are a Non-Profit Association and Ukulele Club is run by volunteers, BUT... it would be nice if you would become a member and help support our programs - HINT. HINT. HINT).
• Meet every 2 weeks (depending on holidays)
• Learn 1 new song for each meeting. 
• Once we get better, we could even form solo groups, prepare songs and to perform at the “Open Mic” during the meetings!
• Practice Makes Perfect!  Our space is free in the mornings Monday-Friday  from 9-1.  Feel free to come in and practice.   
• Flash Uke?  Do you want to play with your new friends? Post it on the WhatsApp group and plan impromptu meetings in cool places like in Osmizzas! or at Barcola! Your own home or yard! How fun is that!  Kudos to Silva, Valeria and Marino for our first Flash Ukulele Mob last Saturday in the Giardino Pubblico!
