*THIS IS AN IN-PERSON CLASS*

From post-punk, new wave, and mall pop to power ballads and hair metal, the 1980s were a time of both superficial escapism and dystopian social commentary, with MTV as a powerful vehicle for new music. In this workshop, we’ll play totally awesome popular and influential songs of the 1980s, with an emphasis on strumming and singing for both solo performance and uke group participation. There will be opportunities to play ensemble arrangements for players of various skill levels. Topics will include strumming rhythms, fingerpicking riffs, barre chords, embellishments, choosing keys/arranging for ukulele and more.
