Program Description

Event Details

Join award winning artist, Lil' Rev for this three-part class for ukulele learners. You don’t need any experience or even a ukulele — we’ll provide one for you! All you need to do is show up. Learn all the basics: from how to hold a ukulele, to basic strums, to a cache of simple two- and three-chord songs, and much more!

Lil' Rev was born and bred in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with dual passions for music and education.   After college he taught music to grade schoolers at the Milwaukee Jewish Day School and served as an adjunct music historian and lecturer at The University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.  After many years of performing in the Midwest, Lil' Rev left his teaching jobs behind to pursue his musical dreams full-time.  Since then, he has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, visited every state in the Union (except Alaska and Hawaii), wrote almost a dozen instructional books, recorded over a dozen albums and taught thousands of students ukulele and harmonica. 
 

Preregistration is required and can be located on the first date of the 3-week series listed on the event calendar.  Open to adults and teens.  

Additional students may be added to the class if they provide their own ukulele.  Please note in the comments box if you are bringing a ukulele.
