DUCS Celtic jam sessions

DUCS registration includes Celtic strummin nights

First session will be Monday, September 20, 2021

Celtic strummin' music is from the Celtic Songs Strum Together by Hal Leonard book.  This songbook has chords for soprano and baritone ukuleles, guitar, mandolin and banjo.  I bought mine in paperback and Kindle from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Celtic-Songs-Hal-Leonard-Corp/dp/1495087999/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Celtic+Songs+Strum+Together&qid=1631636634&s=books&sr=1-1
We have transposed many of these songs to a different key signature so it is more sing-able.  Those transposed songs will be handouts at the jam session to go with your book.

Celtic nights will be Mondays, 6:30 pm - 8:00pm:
September 20
October 4 and 18
November 1 and 15

Hope you can join in!

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 strummin' continues

The February and March 2021 DUCS jam sessions at Ordean Middle School have been enjoyed by a small group of die-hard ukulele enthusiasts.

Join in our safely distanced and masked upcoming jam sessions, which are the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the months of April through August, 2021.  You must register with Duluth Community Education: https://duluth.ce.eleyo.com/course/189/spring-summer-2021/duluth-ukulele-community-strum
