Ukulele - Basics, Strums and Fingerpicking

$49

with Susan Abel, RSU 19 Adult Education

Calendar Apr 18, 2024 at 4 pm

You can learn to strum and fingerpick songs in 6 weeks and

have fun, too. Learn to play the basics and how to maintain

your instrument. Ukuleles are an excellent and easy first or

tenth musical instrument to learn to play -- but like all

instruments, ukuleles are a challenge to master. Ukuleles

come in 5 different sizes: soprano; concert; tenor; baritone

and bass. It is recommended that for students who don’t have

a ukulele to look up information on the ukulele and visit a

music store to see which size is best for you or wait to buy

after the first class where you will be able to try out all ukulele

sizes and tunings. If you are already a ukulele player this

course will help you brush up on and learn more ukulele strum

patterns, chords and chord variations, and fingerpicking

playing style.

Introduction to Qigong W24

$16

with Shalimar Chasse, Augusta Adult and Community Education

Calendar Apr 19, 2024 at 2 pm, runs for 4 weeks

An ancient wellness practice, with foundational moves associated with the martial arts, that builds energy, balances, and unifies body, mind, and spirit.

This workshop is ideal for those who live with chronic illnesses, are recovering from a health event, and have limited mobility. Some standing is ideal, however seated modifications are possible. The closest practice to qigong is Thai Chi. The difference is that qigong offers a series of exercises that can be more easily remembered. Thai Chi is often centered around multi-step forms that take time to memorize.

Community-accessible video links to follow for continued home practice.
