Why Play the Ukulele?
Upbeat Ukulele Troupe
Community Association
We are a special interest group (SIG) for Sun City residents. If you can sing in the car and tap on the steering wheel, you can play the uke! No need to read music, the chord diagrams show dots where you put fingers; know a few chords and you're singing happy tunes. If you are brand new to the uke, see our section about how to buy a ukulele and get started. You may join us for 2 practice sessions before becoming a member of the Singers Chartered Club. Membership dues are $15.
- Practice: 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of each month, 3:30-5:00 pm Cowan Creek AC - Georgetown/Florence Room
- Uke Can Do It! Beginner / Slow Practice: Every Saturday, 10:00-10:45 at Cowan Creek AC - Andice Room
- Practice : Every Saturday, 11:00am - 1:00pm at Cowan Creek AC - Andice Room
