We have been working with Maplewood since 2010, and we look forward to carrying on the tradition in 2025! Lessons are a lot of fun, and they are a great way to get started on instrument learning. Right around the corner from Maplewood is Cherrywood Coffee House, and all Maplewood students are welcome to join members of the Groundwork Music Orchestra on that stage every second Sunday.
Lessons include ukulele play, singing, note reading, and lots of fun songs that kids love to play. We not only have a lots of fun, but this is also a great primer for more advanced opportunities in middle school and beyond. We have seen lots of success stories and we often hear from former students that they were well prepared for band and other endeavors in their latter childhood and teen years.
Our JHUI-certified teachers (James Hill Ukulele Initiative) have a depth of teaching knowledge and musical knowledge that helps children to develop both skill and a love of musical activity.
Look for information on our big Spring Concert at Central Market, as well as monthly play-along events at Cherrywood Coffee House (second Sunday of every month).
