We welcome you to Ukulele for beginners with JT Mondays 7pm.
Here's a little uke trivia:
The Hawaiian word “ukulele” comes from uku (a flea) and lele (to jump).
According to dictionary.com it was originally a “nickname given to British army officer Edward Purvis, who popularized the instrument at the court of King Kalakaua, in reference to his lively playing style.”
Another theory holds that the term comes from the nimbly flying fingers — “jumping fleas” — of an accomplished player of the Portuguese machete, an ancestor of the ukulele. We play coz it's just so easy and so much fun. Come along sometime and practice with us.
Namaste
