Ukulele Christmas: A Three-Week Class with Liz Rabson Schnore

Ukulele Christmas with Liz Rabson Schnore Saturdays 12/5, 12/12, 12/19 from 1 PM - 2 PM Christmastime is the best time to gather with friends and family to sing and play music together. This short set of classes will focus on repertoire and demystifying playing the classic Holiday songs on the ukulele so you can bring the music to all your holiday gatherings. This class is for all levels but you should have basic ukulele skills and be able to read ukulele chord charts. Liz Rabson Schnore is a Brooklyn-based musician steeped in the roots traditions of blues, country, and string band music. The daughter of acclaimed blueswoman Ann Rabson, Liz grew up in Fredericksburg, Virginia, but has called Brooklyn home for the past twenty-nine years. A multi-instrumentalist, she primarily plays ukulele, but also guitar, bass, and harmonica. You can find her performing with the Dirty Mother String Band and supporting other local artists as a side-woman. Liz shares her musical knowledge as a ukulele mentor and instructor. She's also a driving force in the Brooklyn music scene, organizing events like the Boathouse Jam and the Gowanus Jug & String Band Sessions at the Gowanus Canal Dredgers Canoe Club Boathouse. Her passion for ukulele, jamming, and folk/roots music makes her a vibrant presence in the community. Despite the rising costs and lower funding streams that are affecting cultural institutions, Jalopy still wants to be a home for everyone seeking to learn and develop their musical practice. Therefore, this semester, we are offering the classes based on a sliding scale, inviting each student to choose a price based on their income level. Those of you who can afford to pay more than the breakeven cost, will be making it feasible for Jalopy to give scholarships to those who cannot afford the courses. Please note that these numbers are only suggestions, and you are free to pay what feels manageable and appropriate for you based on all your life's circumstances, not just annual income. As usual, you can inquire and apply for financial aid by emailing lynette@jalopytheatre.org.
