13/04/25 Ukulele Workshop Day... Didn't They Do Well!
Hi, all. Today - Sunday 13th April - saw our latest Absolute Beginners’ Workshop. Although uptake was slow when the Workshop was first advertised, interest picked up, thanks, no doubt, to some publicity in the Worcester Evening News and on BBC Radio Hereford & Worcester, and we ended up with 14 people taking their first, tentative steps on the great ukulele journey. Considering that the majority of them had never played the ukulele before - and at least 2 had never played any musical instrument before, - the progress made was considerable and impressive, to the extent that the ‘L-plate’ players played us out at the end with The 4-chord song, Teenager In Love. Without any shadow of a doubt, the WUC-Buddy system gives a huge boost to our learners, so many, many thanks to the 14 of you who sacrificed your Sunday morning to come along and give your support. I got lots of positive comments from the learners after we’d finished, saying how appreciative they were of their ‘buddy’. Perhaps my favourite comment was from the young lady who confessed to having owned her uke - a lovely Fender soprano - for 10 years without ever playing it: it has spent all that time in her loft!!! We were the catalyst (posh word for kick up the backside) she needed to get stuck in to making some music with it, at long last!
Thanks, also to Steve from Music City for coming along with a range of ukes and various other bits of uke paraphernalia.
I’m hoping we’ll see some new faces at WUC over the next few weeks as our Newbies continue their journey.
Many thanks, again, to all who helped with the success of the event.
