Learn To Play A Tin Can Ukulele

Participate in a unique experience on Amherst Island you won't soon forget! Borrow a tin can ukulele made by artisanal luthier Ross Stuart and sit in the Music Garden outside his workshop for a free lesson on basic cords and strumming patterns. This free & inclusive event is open to anyone who would like to play with bright and lively sound; no experience is necessary.

Joining us for both sessions are musicians Steve Kennedy (guitar), Brian Flynn (fiddle), and Carlton University's professor emeritus Stephen Richer (banjo). They will be helping you learn and might even put on a little performance for you between sessions!

This is an outdoor event; please dress for the weather!
