More strummin' dates!

We were off to a great start for the new semester this past Monday with a variety of songs to play.  

There are some of us who would like to play weekly and Duluth Community Education will support this with no additional registration or fee!

Starting Monday, May 3 through August 16, each 1st and 3rd Mondays of those months meeting 6:30pm - 8:00pm at Ordean School we will be playing tunes from a book DUCS has from past sessions:  Celtic Songs Strum Together  This book has 70 tunes, each with chords for standard ukulele, baritone ukulele, guitar, mandolin and banjo.

These extra dates will not be listed on the Duluth Community Education online class schedule, but are offered to those already registered for the 2nd and 4th Monday sessions.  Again, if you wish to join in this extra strummin', you do not need to register again but you do need to purchase the book for your own use.  If a non-ukulele player (such as guitar, mandolin or banjo) wish to join in, they will also need to do the one time registration and fee. You can register here:  Duluth Ukulele Community Strum through Duluth Community Education

DUCS 2021 update

Duluth Ukulele Community Strum will be under the Music category:

Duluth Ukulele Community Strum (DUCS) jam sessions bring together all skill levels of players who want to play their ukulele in a fun setting.  All styles of ukuleles are welcome as are other string instruments.  We play from The Daily Ukulele Songbook and The Daily Ukulele Leap Year Songbook, taking turns selecting a song for us to play. Each player must bring their own songbooks, music stand, instrument, tuner and wear a mask. Chair will be provided. Songbooks in PDF format, not printed, are available at no charge from the instructor.        $10.00 registration fee for Winter 2021 semester

DUCS has resumed virtual jam sessions starting September 14.  Back to the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month for getting together via Zoom 6:30 - 8:00 pm CDT.  Join us, contact duluthukulelecommunitystrum@gmail.com for more information and Zoom link.  Sessions are free, as always.

Some players are getting together via zoom playing songs from Celtic Songs Strum Along and Bluegrass Fakebook books.  Email duluthukulelecommunitystrum@gmail.com if you are interested in joining in.

DUCS Summer Sessions are Cancelled

Due to an abundance of caution, any plans to meet as a group tailgating this summer has been cancelled.  Zoom sessions have not been well attended, so those will not be offered also.

Enjoy the summer and let's reconnect in the Fall.  Be well!

DUCS is saying bye-bye to Zoom and jamming safely together in DUCS Tailgating sessions this summer. Details are in the DUCS News June 2020 eNewsletter or contact via email for location and attendance requirements duluthukulelecommunitystrum@gmail.com
