Hello all.
I am seeking some information on starting a club and doing introductory classes on the
ukulele (as a part of that club). So I would like to pick the brains and get experiences and suggestions from the folks who have been there and done that.
1) Starting a club.
I do not see using tabs and chord sheets for club meetings as this would be a private setting and not performing for the public. The issue come from what do we do when we would perform? Would I need licenses from the Performing Rights Organizations?
2) Class
I would like to get a regular (quarterly) intro class started with the help of a local music store. Again, the use of tabs and chord sheets. Is there a licensing issue here? This would not really be a performance, but the public would be there to learn as well as be in the store, perhaps.
3) Awareness gigs like for schools and libraries
These would be a public performance, I would imagine. Again PRO's?
I would wonder how invasive a small ukulele club would be to the big music industry, but I would owe it to myself and other to "do it right".
If anyone has any experiences you would like to share, or advice, I warmly welcome it.
Thanks.
