The morning, in order
9:00
Themed strumming
Chord charts out of the binder, big print, in the keys we actually play.
10:30
Snack break
Potluck. Someone always brings too much fruit.
11:15
Open mic
Play one, or sit and clap through it. Both are normal.
Bring
- A ukulele, if you own one
- Nothing, if you don’t — we keep loaners
- Ten dollars, suggested, at the door
- A music stand, optional but smug
Nobody will make you sing
And nobody will ask you why you are not singing.
Questions
That is the common case. A Strum Leader shows the four chords the first song needs, and the binder prints them above the words. You will be playing along inside a song or two.
No. There is no sheet music in the room, only chord charts.
Whatever you have. Most of the room plays soprano or concert, tuned GCEA. If yours is out of tune, someone will tune it for you.
$10 suggested at the door, and nobody checks. That covers the hall and the coffee.
Yes. Our youngest regular is eleven. Under about eight, sit with them.
No. The open mic at the end is volunteers only, and plenty of people never volunteer.
