I think I've got 2-4 spots remaining. thanks ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: John Salmon <sugarinthegourd....@gmail.com> Date: Sun, Feb 27, 2011 at 10:51 PM Subject: Free kids' ukulele lessons To: "4600ha...@googlegroups.com" <4600ha...@googlegroups.com> Hey 4600 neighbors, I've been thinking for awhile now about trying to get a group of neighborhood kids together, and teaching them to play the ukulele. It's a very fun and relatively easy instrument, and a great way to expose children to the joy of making music. I am ready to commit to this idea now, so if any of you have or know of kids aged 8-15 (or thereabouts) who might be interested in learning to play ukulele, please let me know. I figured I'd start with a series of 8 group classes, once a week, and after 8 weeks we'll see how we're doing and decide where to go next. I will not charge anything for this first sequence of classes. I probably wouldn't charge anything for subsequent series either, but I can't make any promises there -- I could decide not to go forward, or to bring in another teacher. Each child would need a ukulele. Decent ukes can be bought for $40-80. I would ask parents who are interested to please let me know before you purchase anything so I can give you some advice. The difference between a usable instrument and a piece of junk is not always obvious. I think 6-8 students would be a good number for the first class. I would teach at my house on the weekends.

I will spread this offer out in a wider radius, but id like to keep a West Philly focus if possible. Thanks, John 4639 Hazel -- http://sugarinthegourd.com Old-Time, All the Time
