GROUP CLASSES

With the inspiration of Jim Wiggins, founder of the  The…Penticton ‘Ukes’Community Strumalong and Sing ukulele has hit Penticton…  The music stores can hardly keep them in stock!  The group’s  motto is “Having ‘Fun’ Making Music Together!”  Because ukulele is a super fun instrument to play, and goes hand in hand with singing, more and more people are looking to learn how to strum along with their favourite song.  Yanti’s beginner and intermediate classes can help make sense of strum patterns and practice chord progressions.  These informative practice sessions are held Monday afternoons at the Martin Street Art and Music Gallery.

Contact Yanti for more details.

SENIOR’S CLASSES

Yanti’s group ukulele classes are designed for members to engage with one another while learning to connect to their own creativity, discipline and fine motor skills within the comfort of their retirement facility.  Yanti devotes a portion of almost every class for memory work, stretching and body mechanics.  Her music selection reflects the interests of her students and her teaching style involves the memorization and application of ukulele chords through practice tools and sheet music.
