For folks interested in learning about or taking the Fall OLLI Hawaiian Styles and Techniques Fun with the Ukulele course, the syllabus (21 pages with skills and songs) and handout (10 pages with skills and songs) are now in our GUS group songs on SBP. Check ‘em out if you’d like to see what the course is all about. We still have open seats in both AM and PM classes! It may also be easier to read some of the skills/songs on your tablet than in print.

In SBP, just look for “Hawaiian Styles and Techniques Fun with the Ukulele Syllabus” and “Hawaiian Styles and Techniques Fun with the Ukulele Handout”.

Hope to see you in class in October!
