The Strum Shop

More great bluegrass from the Doc.

My late great partner Stu Herreid started this organization along with Budd Snell. Soon, many other golden hearted ukulele enthusiasts such as Eva Quan (pictured) joined in. I'm so proud of what they have and continue to accomplish.

Group ukulele classes starting this Tuesday, January 5th. Sign up at today at: http://www.thestrumshop.com/group-music-lessons.htm

Bluegrass Ukulele Celebration to Start Soon

This song came up on our playlist today. I couldn't believe it.

Lots of music lessons going on at The Strum Shop. We now have instruction for trumpet, trombone, clarinet and flute. And of course we teach ukulele, guitar, banjo, mandolin, violin, drums, percussion, piano and voice. Lessons are being offered in person as well as by video. Sign up today!

And now for something completely different. Mary Jane Conley posted this on her Facebook feed. I thought it was awesome.

Just sharing a little music on a Smokey Sunday in Roseville.

Check out Dennis's video about slack key ukulele tuning.

Dennis's new course is about to begin. Sign up now!

Kala accidentally sent us the byproduct of cutting out the sound hole but I find it pretty neat because you could use it like a coaster for your drink.

How bluegrass differs from clawhammer. Can you guess the title of the bluegrass song I play here?
