Event Details

 

Join Lil’ Rev for a fun-filled night of ukulele tremolo studies. We'll ask the question: What is tremolo? How is it done on the ukulele? Why is it important when playing ukulele? Using exercises and songs, Lil’ Rev will show you a variety of ways to do tremolo with a fun, relaxed, and efficient approach. Open to all levels. 

Join us each Thursday and Monday throughout May for live-streamed ukulele classes brought to you by Lil' Rev and Mead Library. Classes will meet from 6:15-7:15pm and can be found on the Mead Facebook page by clicking HERE. Check out the entire list of classes below! Note: No class on Memorial Day.

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.
