Got the urge to play your uke with other people, share songs, learn some new techniques? SUGAR is the group for you:
SUGAR - Saginaw Ukulele Gurus And Rookies
Mission Statement: SUGAR was organized with two goals in mind:- Goal 1: Make music
- Goal 2 Have fun making it!
You will be happy to know that brand new beginner ukes can be purchased for as little as $30, which is a small enough investment to try it out and see if this is something that you might enjoy. Depending on the group's needs, we can do some instruction, some performing, or whatever else we choose to do!
The songs that we will be singing and playing each month will be publicized well in advance giving you a chance to print them out, and even pr-pr-practice ahead of time if you wish. Feel free to email the SUGAR group leader at johnnyhunt57@yahoo.com for information and help with downloading the month's songs. Come and have some fun strummin', singin', and playin' our ukuleles.
