Ukes of the Valley is a ukulele group that has three goals: 1) Have fun. 2) Learn and grow as musicians. 3) Share our music with others. The group is open to anyone, whether you are an absolute beginner or a highly experienced player. Here are the details:
We meet on Tuesday evenings at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran
Church in Apple Valley, Minnesota.We play a variety of music, both secular and nonsecular. Most
songs on our playlist are suggested by group participants.Beginner instruction is available from 6:00-6:20.
Our session runs from 6:20-8:00, and usually includes the
following:
- A few beginner-friendly songs to get started
- One or two "workshop" songs--songs that we spend extra time on
to learn and/or improve
-A play-along jam, using our Ukes of the Valley Songbook
This format may vary, particularly if we are preparing for a performance.
