Ukestra

Play well with others! Join the Ukestra  and be part of a unique opportunity to play parts of orchestrated pieces with other ukulele players! In the process, improve your timing and knowledge of music theory. Ukestra is inclusive and has parts for beginner, intermediate or advanced players. The season will consist of at least 7 performances.

It’s highly recommended and preferred that students have low G strings on their ukuleles.
