This Sunday 2PM class (usually Sundays at 4pm) is for Newcomers/total beginners. The class times will be a bit changeable this year as I play in various bands with weekend performances, so please do sign up weekly via Meetup to make sure you have up-to-date times. Thanks!\n\nThis Beginners class is intended for those with little or no experience with the ukulele. We will start from scratch, learn basic knowledge needed to get acquainted with the ukulele and start to gain an understanding of how music works - become comfortable strumming and fingerpicking some very simple songs and singing along as you play, in the safety of a friendly group setting.\n\nFor those more experienced but not yet intermediate, I have a class called \"Seasoned beginners\" with a wider range of chords, introduction to tab, more strumming patterns, more elaborate songs, etc.\n\nACCESS: LOCATION\nThough my 2-year Ockham Collective artist residency officially came to an end in 2021, I was invited last year to return to the O.C. spaces as an alumni to host my uke classes in their venues. A big thank you to the O.C. for having me back! I'm very grateful. Sessions will therefore be held in a lovely big ground-floor space called Ockham Collective at The Nix, on Nixon Street in Grey Lynn. Entry through #6 Nixon Street.\n\nBOOKING & PRICING:\nPayment of $25/person/class can be made in cash on the day or directly to the account below.\n\nSonia's account:\nANZ Freedom account\nName: Ms S Wilson\nNumber: 01-0205-0083380-00\n\nBulk purchase discounts are available:\n$120 for 5 sessions ($5 discount)\nor\n$230 for ten sessions ($20 discount).\nSessions bought in bulk do not need to be consecutive, but please keep track of your own attendance diligently as it would be complicated for me to do so instead. Thanks!\n\nBooking is required. 20 spaces max in each class available on a first-come-first-serve basis.\n\n• What we'll do\n\nWe'll be learning to tune the ukulele with a clip-on tuner, exploring basic music theory (no rocket science, just enough to get you started), learning chords, strumming patterns and songs. When time allows, we may venture into the realm of playful group improvisations! :)\n\nOne of the challenges of playing uke and singing is the art of putting those together, so we'll spend time getting to know the phrasing of songs and developing your ability to synchronize singing & playing so you can build skills andconfidence to perform in front of an audience someday, if you wish to do so (not obligatory). As I am experienced in choir singing, we will also look at some harmony singing.\n\n• What to bring\n\nA ukulele! Many of my students find it helpful to have a strap on their ukulele. I also recommend a clip-on ukulele tuner (the simpler, the better - more fancy buttons can lead to more confusion).\n\nIf buying a new ukulele, I would advise a Makala or Kohala as the cheapest to consider. Anything cheaper and it's buyer beware - they can be difficult to tune and don't produce such a nice sound. Kala is good but a little more expensive. As regards size, I'd recommend a concert or tenor size to produce a good sound. Try the instrument before buying, if possible: try Lewis Eady, Rockshop, Music Planet, KBB Music, Music Works or Bungalow Bills. Most shops have a range of instruments and can advise you based on your budget and future plans.\n\nClick on the following articles for suggestions for buying a ukulele if you do not have one:\n\n* [www.takelessons.com/blog/types-of-ukuleles-z10](http://takelessons.com/blog/types-of-ukuleles-z10)\n* [www.ukuleletricks.com/5-best-ukuleles-to-buy-for-beginners](http://www.ukuleletricks.com/5-best-ukuleles-to-buy-for-beginners/)\n\nNote about left-handed ukulele: my suggestion would be to buy a normal (right-handed) ukulele. This just means your fretting hand (the left hand) will be more agile than the average right-handed player (whose fretting hand would be their weaker one, the left). I think the ukulele is a wonderful instrument for helping us all to develop ambidexterity.\n\nLearning to tune your uke will be a key skill to learn. I'm happy to answer questions on that at the start of the lesson. A well-tuned ukulele will make you want to play more frequently.\n\nAlso, it will be much easier to play the notes / chord shapes on uke if the nails on your left hand are not too long.\n\n• My invitation\nPlease don't shy away from this learning experience by fear of not being good enough. This is specifically a beginner's class and everyone is musical in my opinion. It's just a matter of exposure, experience and practice. I intend for these group lessons to be educational in a fun and relaxed kind of way. My intention is to create a \"safe zone\" for musical play and growth in good company.\n\nThanks for being part of this group and hope to see you soon!\n\nxoxo Sonia","price":"NZ$25","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1763624288000","seoName":"uke-and-singing-lesson-total-beginners-newcomers-sunday-at-2pm","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://nz.ok.com/en/city-auckland1/cate-artists-musicians/uke-and-singing-lesson-total-beginners-newcomers-sunday-at-2pm-6446390898483311/","localIds":"18","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"3c556849-9af9-4a3b-8a47-34e32cbf2185","sid":"4c88bb20-1cfe-4b88-8964-fd86f6e0d3b4"},"attrParams":{},"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6703,6715","location":"2 Bond Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland 1021, New Zealand","infoId":"6446389559577911","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/c/e/1/highres_531135585.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Beginner Latin Partner Dance Classes (All are always welcomed)","content":"🎉 **Brazilian Zouk Beginners Dance Classes – FAST TRACK** 🎉\nSmooth tunes, social vibes & an awesome community!\nReady to try something fun, social, and totally different?

It was founded by **Morgan** and **Lera** of **eartH2Ocean** and has been running for a few years now. We’re fortunate to have an amazing bunch of regulars of all levels who started their climbing passion with us! So whether you are new or a seasoned legend, please don't hesitate to come along and join us!\n\n**Newcomers**\nIf it’s your first time, aim to arrive just before 6pm as they start the belay lessons on the hour, every hour (belaying is part of the climbing experience, so you’ll need to be signed off before you can belay another climber). Once you are signed off though, you won’t need to do it again! To speed up the process, please head to Extreme Edge’s website below and sign the waiver before coming in. Just look for the blue ‘Sign our waiver’ tab at the bottom right corner. Alternatively, you can sign the waiver when you first arrive (just leave five minutes or so to finish that and get your gear before the lesson).\n\n[http://www.extremeedge.co.nz/](http://www.extremeedge.co.nz/)\n\n**Getting Started**\nWhile we list a start time of 6pm, the Meetup is really an opportunity for regulars to meet and find small groups to climb with (normally in twos or threes). **So we don’t really have a dedicated starting time or a regular place to meet.** So when you arrive, just look out for the hosts **Chris** and **Rob** or any other regulars or members who have signed up for the event. If it’s early, they’ll probably be warming up on the walls near to where the belay lessons are held. Please don’t be shy, just introduce yourselves and we’ll help out in any way we can!\n\nIf you have any questions, just post them in the comment’s section and we’ll do our best to answer. If we can, we’ll arrange to meet you otherwise, I’m sure you’ll bump into us on the wall! Quite a few of our regulars also just show up and don’t put their name down, so on most nights you’re almost guaranteed to find someone to climb with.\n\n**Why Rock Climbing?**\nRock climbing is one of the best activities you can do if you love to challenge yourself both physically and mentally. It is a great way to workout while having fun and making friends. So please come along and try something new!!!\n\n**Date & Time**\nWe aim to host at Extreme Edge every week on a **Wednesday night**. People normally **arrive between 6pm and 7pm** and climb through to **around 8:30pm**. If you arrive a bit late to join in belay lesson, don’t worry, you can climb with any of the other regulars who are signed off (you just can’t belay yourself) or you can warm up on the bouldering wall or brave one of the auto-belays! (these are automated devices that allow you to climb on your own).\n\n**Location**\n**Extreme Edge Rock Climbing, 32 Morrin Road, Saint Johns, Panmure** at the end of a long driveway.

Like a true artist’s workshop, every detail is important; from the mise-en-scene lighting to the meticulous presentation of every dish and drink; Atelier masterfully marries design and craftsmanship into an enthralling experience.\n\nA protagonist on Auckland’s culinary scene, this petite, romantic nook is cosy, sophisticated, and bohemian, with a touch of sincerity throughout. Eclectic features from the Apéro Paris tables and colourful Art Deco posters adorn the space, while plush fiery crimsonesque velvet banquettes whimsically pop in great contrast to its natural and exposed brickwork. White pendant lights majestically hover above retractable windows, splashing the space in a celestial ambience.\n\nAtelier’s trust the chef's menu is artfully thoughtful.
