Our ukulele group is designed for children who may have started exploring the ukulele in school during whole class sessions and would like to progress further, perhaps alongside more experienced players. It’s a great opportunity to meet new friends from other schools and work together to create some fantastic arrangements of music, featuring a wide variety of different styles.
