ADULT UKULELE COURSES - CLASSROOM & ZOOM COURSES

As of September 2021, all 18+ members will have the option of attending courses back in the classroom at UCL HQ or online via zoom. The other good news is, Zoom classes are not restricted to Liverpool /Northwest residents - all welcome! 
How excited am I to be heading back into the UCL classroom after all this time listening to my own voice week in week out! I cannot wait to hear us all perform again, together as this is one of the many aspects that I absolutely cherish about teaching ukulele. It's been challenging trying to adapt, and we have a few changes to contend with this term now that restrictions have been lifted but it's all great news, as follows;
  • All class room based course members will also be eligible to access and attend the online Zoom sessions at no extra charge, or simply watch the recorded zoom sessions back in their own time for the duration of the course.
  • Class sizes will be capped to ensure the safety of our members in terms of space and resources, providing a more comfortable approach in a safe and sufficiently optimised environment retaining safety precautions. 
  • All Zoom participants will attend 9 online zoom training sessions and one final remote, recording session with the option of attending the official UCL end of term celebration at a suitably allocated venue in Liverpool. 
Upon booking your course, you will receive a members guide with all of the essential information you will need, regarding access to all course related media, communications, support channels and course content, including Zoom access and terms & conditions of service which we urge you to read prior to your course commencement to ensure you are ready & set to go when we kick off. You can read them by scrolling own this page or emailing for a downloadable copy ;)
