This 4-day series of relaxed-pace morning workshops for adults is presented by the Corktown Ukulele Jam's co-founder/producer, Steve McNie.
A PERFECT INTRODCUTION FOR NEW PLAYERS
For those who want to play but never have, this is a made-in-heaven opportunity for you to learn how to play the ukulele from the ground, up.
You'll get all of the content presented in our UKE 101 and 201 offerings - and then some.
There will be a ton of playing and singing and good times are guaranteed.
A previous grounding in music is a good starting point but it's not a prerequisite.
Pressure to sing in front of people? Zero.
If your voice could have a best friend, it would be a ukulele. That's why we sing so much at CAMPUCCINO. We put our voice out there for the enjoyment of the experience. How well you sing really doesn't matter - but the spirit that you bring matters a lot.
4 CONSECUTIVE MORNINGS, MONDAY-THURSDAY
Our morning begins at 9:10am.
Plan to arrive at 8:45ish to relax, get tuned and to enjoy a croissant and a cappuccino on us. Our time is split between the natural light of the recently renovated Brewery Lofts Amenity Room and outside. Weather permitting, we'll enjoy the rooftop terrace to play before the Toronto cityscape. The pace is comfortable and the learning, fun.
