Beginning Hula:
8 PM Thursday - We are very pleased and excited that the noted Hula instructor Joyce Flaugher will teach a beginning level Hula class at this year's convention. Joyce has many years experience teaching both beginning and advanced level Hula. This free seminar is open to all convention attendees - both male and female. No experience is necessary for this fun class. Take off your shoes and have a good time!
Remember guys... gals can't resist a guy who knows how to dance.
Beginning Ukulele:
3 PM Saturday - One of Chicago's best known ukulele instructors Terry Truhart (of Windy City Ukefest fame) will conduct a beginning level ukulele class. All are welcome. Learning the basics of the ukulele is very easy and Terry's class is both informative and fun.
Beginning Steel Guitar:
8 PM Thursday - Former HSGA Board member Gerald Ross will conduct a beginning level Hawaiian Steel Guitar class using the C6 tuning. Topics include bar handling, right hand picking, beginning slant technique - a basic song will be taught to get you started down the road.
