This is a continuation of the Ukulele 1 and 2 courses from last spring. In this course we will continue to have FUN playing ukulele together in class and expanding our ukulele repertoire. Using class hand-outs and YouTube videos we will be learning new chords and songs in the keys of G, D, A F and Am, focusing on becoming independent life-long ukulele players! Course requirements: a ukulele, a tuner, experience playing in the key of C, and a commitment to 10 minutes of practice each day at home between classes.

Have you been wanting to express yourself a little in Spanish? In this beginning set of classes, we will have FUN in SPANISH through mini conversations, games, poems, and songs. This is a FULL PARTICIPATION CLASS! We will not be “studying” Spanish, we will be using it from day one in class to have FUN and acquire it naturally – following the philosophy that what you can DO with a language is more important than what you KNOW about the language.

This seminar will explore the strategies of the five key “warlords” of World War II: Winston Churchill, Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. How did their early years (including childhood) and interwar struggles influence their views on war and the greater strategic goals that drove them? How should they be ranked? Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt were the victors, but which one was the most successful? Hitler and Mussolini strategies for victory ended in disaster and defeat … but was there a time and strategy that might have brought them victory? These are the themes / questions that will be discussed.

This is a continuation of the Ukulele 1, 2, and 3 courses. In this course we will continue to have FUN playing ukulele together in class and expanding our ukulele repertoire and techniques. We will especially be focusing on MOVEABLE chords – chord shapes on the uke that do not use any open strings and therefore can be used up and down the fretboard to play in different keys. We will continue to focus on and share how to be independent life-long ukulele players!

This class is building on what we learned in the September and early October classes. It is open to all who attended before and anyone who has taken Spanish years ago and wants to have FUN with SPANISH with mini-conversations, games, poems and songs.

This course is designed to teach foundational acting skills through practical exercises. Participants will focus on essential elements such as breath control for projection, voice modulation for emotional range, and physicality to enhance character portrayal. The course covers techniques for character development, script analysis for understanding roles, and scene work to create authentic interactions. The culmination is a showcase where students perform a rehearsed scene, demonstrating their skills. This workshop is suitable for beginners with no prior experience required and emphasizes learning through practical application rather than memorization.
