Highly recommended. This year was my first, I will be back and I will bring more people with me next year!
Learn how to use pedals and amps to create interesting sounds with your ukulele as well as how to properly mic and amplify yourself for playing out.
Melissa will show off her collection of electric ukuleles and pedals and talk about what to look for if you want to go electric. We will cover all the basics so you feel like a pro and know what equipment you need to sound great when you are sharing your music with others.

- Advanced/Confident Beginner: A student at this level knows a handful of chords and can move from one chord to another without pausing. Student may have trouble with, say, the B-flat chord shape. Student has learned a strum or two and/or a finger pattern for picking.
- Intermediate: A student can hold a steady rhythm and is competent with a variety of basic chords. Understands simple chord progressions, can sing and strum at the same time, and learns chords to simple tunes fairly quickly.
