I recently started a ukulele group for Middlesbrough U3A. We meet once a month in a local community centre.
Most of the members were absolute beginners so up till now, the meetings have been pretty unstructured as I have been spending most of my time helping individuals get started fingering basic chords and doing simple strums.
However, I feel the time has come to inject some more structure into the meetings. We are quite a small group just half-a-dozen or so members. We have had more come in total but some have decided ukulele was not for them which is fair enough.
I have some thoughts on how I might structure meetings but would like to get ideas/experience from others on what has worked and what has not. As a small group, I would like to keep it pretty informal, but some structure is needed if I am not to lose members.
Whether you run a group yourself or just go along as a participant I would love to hear about your experience.
