Blackstone River Theatre will offer a six-week UKULELE class for CONTINUING beginners with instructor Armand Aromin on Thursdays, March 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 and April 6, from 6:30-7:20 PM. This small, group class needs a minimum of five students, with a maximum of eight. Fee is $100 per student per six-week session. Prepayment necessary! This class is designed for students who have taken one 6-week session with him previously or already know the C, F, and G chords! He'll talk about rhythm, chords, strum patterns, and how to accompany both songs AND tunes. All this while Armand not-so-subliminally infuses every lesson with his celebrating Rhode Island music agenda.

Blackstone River Theatre will offer a six-week UKULELE class for ADVANCE beginners with instructor Armand Aromin on Thursdays, March 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 and April 6, from 7:30-8:30 PM. This small, group class needs a minimum of five students, with a maximum of eight. Fee is $100 per student per six-week session. Prepayment necessary! This class is designed for the continuing beginner student (taken one or two sessions in the past or has similar experience) who has gone from simply owning a uke to learning how to play one. We'll continue to work on topics referenced above in the beginner class, but also learn fingerpicking patterns, alternative chord voicings, transposition, and, of course, further methods for pushing the Rhode Island music agenda!

Armand Aromin is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, dancer, and violin maker who strongly believes in discovering one's local musical history. His Providence-based duo, The Vox Hunters, published their first book of old music from Rhode Island entitled The Ocean State Songster, Volume I.
