Linn Phipps and Jim Lucas have been hosting a series of shanty singing sessions on Zoom, each one dedicated to a single shanty or family of shanties, with the various participants contributing their particular versions, all collected into a "Big Sing" view of that family. The sessions are recorded, then posted on YouTube for later viewing by anyone who is interested.

Led by Avery Hill, $140 for eight classes.

This 8-week class will cover / review all the basics you need to know for early success in your ukulele playing: how to hold and strum your instrument, a variety of songs to bust out at your next open mic or family talent show, and other essential skills to get you off to a strong start with your playing.

Instructor Avery Hill has been teaching music in Portland for 10 years and is always excited to invite new musicians into the fold (though she would say you’ve always been a musician!). In the classroom, she sees herself as part expert, part guide, part cheerleader as you hone your skills and grow in your overall musicianship.

Kyshona blends roots, rock, R&B, and folk with lyrical prowess, $20 (doors open at 6:30). Kyshona is unrelenting in her pursuit for the healing power of song. Kyshona’s non-profit organization “Your Song” offers songwriting programs for youth empowerment programs, detention, re-entry, recovery, mental health, and veterans centers and organizations.

Drop-in class, beginners are always welcomed. No air conditioning, but plenty of fans, wear lighter clothes to be more comfortable and bring your water bottles to re-hydrate often! Please refrain from heavy perfumes, etc. Every Thursday night except foul weather and Thanksgiving. Mature teenagers are welcome at 12 and older, $10.

COVID Policy:
Personal responsibility guidelines – we assume that all attending have had a chance to be vaccinated and boosted; extra masks and hand sanitizers are available and exhaust system will be on before and during all performances.

Led by Avery Hill, $160 for eight classes. An 8-week musical romp through 1960s Detroit and the hits that emerged, including Heard It Through the Grapevine (2 versions!), My Girl, How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, and more. 

This class is recommended for players with basic knowledge of playing ukulele in the Keys of C, D, G, and A, along with basic strumming technique. We’ll start there and expand our repertoire of both chords and strumming options, with adaptations for those looking for more or less challenge in their playing.
