Groundwork Music Project is looking forward to another season of ukulele lessons at St. Francis School. These lessons are a lot of fun, and they’re a great way to get started on instrument learning. We often hear back from families with former students that the programs we provided were a great help when they continued their musical endeavors into middle school and beyond.
Lessons include ukulele play, singing, note reading, and songs that kids love to play. Lots of original tunes, unique to Groundwork Music Project's curriculum, and more!
Mr. Dwayne Barnes studied for three years with the renowned ukulele teacher training program created by James Hill (the James Hill Ukulele Initiative). With the tools from this program, Mr. Dwayne offers lessons that have lots of fun and engaging content, while also being well designed to help children to develop broader musical skills.
In addition to lessons, students have opportunities throughout the semester to join our teachers, and other professional musicians (along with other students from Greater Austin) on various stages. Look for information on our December Holiday Concert, as well as monthly play-along events at Cherrywood Coffee House (the second Sunday of each month).
Lessons are Mondays 3:20 to 4:20 P.M. , August 31, September 14, 21, 28, October 5, 26, November 2, 9, 16, 30 December 7, 14

Our mission is to provide free and low cost music lessons to young children regardless of means. Through our programs, children learn to sing, dance, keep a beat, carry a tune, play an instrument, create arrangements, perform for an audience, and collaborate on a creative endeavor.
