For those eager to learn, a 12-week ukulele course will see participants strumming away at Bramley Lawn Social Centre.
Starting on Monday, 9 September between 6.45pm to 8pm, Jessica Bowie will be leading the sessions which will run most Mondays. The course will end on the 25 November.
“The benefits of playing music are well documented now, it’s really good for your mental health,” Ms Bowie said. “Co-ordination can be really good for people having to do hand-eye coordination, as well as helping people with arthritis. People report and I know when I learned myself, it just makes you really happy.
“I’ve been running this ukulele group in Bramley for a while now, and we’ve played at festivals in summer, whenever there are community events that we’re invited to along too we always try and join in.
“People don’t realise how much fun it’s going to be, as well as it being relatively easy. It’s a third easier than learning a guitar because it’s got less strings.”
Cost is £120 for 12 sessions.
The course will take place at Bramley Lawn Social Centre Rossefield Lawn, Bramley, Leeds, LS13 3TG (just off Stanningley Road).
