Guitars in the Classroom

This in-person workshop is for everyone working with young children whether you took a workshop with Guitars and Ukes in the Classroom before or you are new to us, and to ukulele. The workshop is free thanks to support from the National Endowment for the Arts, with ukuleles supplied for you by donors who are friends and fans of GITC's local artist advocate, Bruce Robbins! We're excited to support you to make music and share it with the children in your care. They will love it!

Need a uke? Please fill this out and we will bring one for you to the workshop. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WM2WXDK

If you are a total Beginner, please arrive at 9 am, and you'll learn to keep a beat, play kazoo, hold your uke, strum, sing, and create a simple lyrics for learning togethers. It's easy, fun, practical, and you'll start to see how this can work in your teaching and caregiving. You are welcome to stay for the continuing level workshop starting right after the intro session. We recommend getting a friend to sign up with you so you can keep the music going together this year!

If you have already taken 1 or more workshops with GITC, please join us at 10. We'll expand the circle, do some tuning together, some warm ups that children love, and review OFF/ON aka C/F chords, add a G7 chord, and add Am if you'd like to. You'll learn a fun new reggae strum, snd get into songs for positivity, SEL, routines and transitions, for friendship, and for developing language and early literacy skills. You'll get a chance to team up, get creative and share.
