oin us for Week one of this two week-series! Library staff will teach you the parts of the ukulele, how to tune and care for your instrument, your first strumming pattern, 4 chords, and finally, we will bring everything together to learn a complete song. We will provide instruments to use during the program.

We will show you the history of the ukulele, its parts, how to tune and care for your instrument, your first chords, and a basic strumming pattern.
Week 2: Making Music
This session will build on what we learned in week 1. We will add two more chords to your repertoire, then bring it all together to learn your first full song.
We have instruments that you can borrow during the program, but you are welcome to bring your own. (Soprano or Concert Ukuleles only)
This program will take place in the Makerspace on the first floor of Central Library.
As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
