Do you yearn to learn to play ukulele? The purpose of The Nashville Ukulele Society (NashukeS) is to have fun, learn how to play ukulele, and grow as musicians. You can attend without owning or having picked up a musical instrument. If you have always wanted to play a musical instrument but have thought it was too difficult then the Ukulele is the instrument for you, it's a very easy and fun instrument to learn to play. We play and sing songs together, learn new songs and help beginners learn their way around the ukulele. There is no cost to attend a meeting. So whether you're an 'Uker' or not, please come join us for one of our meetings. There will be at least one extra ukulele on hand so if you own more than one ukulele (and you don't mind sharing) bring your extras so that everyone can join in on the strum/sing alongs.
