 Go crazy with Ukulele! Join our beginner’s course! Want to discover the hottest, happiest musical instrument around? Here’s your chance to learn to play the ukulele. This little instrument is versatile and a blast to play (with regular practice, of course). On it you can knock out folk tunes, rock, samba, blues, pop, jazz, country, reggae, classical music as well as songs grandma knows. The ukulele can go most anywhere with you because it’s small and lightweight. Our beginners’ ukulele course is meant for people with no musical background – including people who think they are musically challenged! And, you don’t even need to know how to read music! You will learn the essentials of playing ukulele in a relaxed setting from a popular and seasoned ukulele instructor who loves to bring the aloha of this wonderful instrument to one and all. Using familiar songs, he introduces you to chords, strumming and fingerpicking…truly a fun way to learn the ukulele. You will need to have a playable ukulele and an electronic tuner. If you need to buy a ukulele, Friendly River Music in Cornish, Midtown Music in Biddeford and Ear Craft Music in Dover, NH are offering discounts on ukuleles to our students. Duncan Perry, a multi-instrumentalist, has been playing ukulele for over 12 years. He is a popular and experienced teacher and performer who offers classes up and down the Southern coast of Maine.

February 22nd, 2021

$45 More Info

Do you know what colors look best on you? Learn to select clothing colors that flatter your eyes, hair and skin coloring. Prior to class, you’ll send selfies of your face to the instructor so she can determine if you're warmer or cooler in coloring. You’ll watch your appearance change as the instructor virtually “drapes” different shades of colors over your photo. In addition to learning about your most flattering colors, you’ll receive general recommendations for eye shadows, blush and lipsticks based on your coloring. Soon you’ll be rethinking the colors you wear – from clothes, to jewelry, to makeup! Candace is owner of Radiant Image and has 30 years of branding and marketing experience working with a variety of organizations throughout northern New England. Her mission is to apply her wealth of experience to people, particularly women, to increase their self-confidence by helping them feel great about their appearance and their ability to connect effectively with others.
