"4 Strings Sing" Uke and Singing group Sessions are BACK :)

Hi and welcome to the '4 Strings Sing' ukulele and singing sessions! ❤️🎶

This "4 Strings Sing" Auckland-based ukulele performing ensemble is a ukulele-centric music collective born out of Sonia's Auckland beginner & intermediate ukulele & singing lessons. After a few years of music sharing, we've decided it's time to play some more shows and bring music out into the city more proactively. We love to share music in various community settings: retirement communities, schools, hospitals, gardens, markets, public places, churches, concert halls, house concerts, etc...

The more, the merrier!
Please feel free to join us if you are an experienced ukulele player and/or singer and would like to take part in this mission of spreading joy through music, far and wide. We are an international, friendly and growing group. We're also on the lookout for percussionists or other keen instrumentalists to add more spice and flavour to our group sound. We do already have a bass player, a banjo player and some baritone and island uke players :)

We rehearse weekly on Sundays at the Nix on Nixon Street in Grey Lynn, thanks to the generous hospitality of the Ockham Collective. There is a fee of $25 per session to cover Sonia's costs and time spent arranging music, teaching parts, etc... Money earned by the group at paid performances will be used to cover expenses where relevant and occasionally to sponsor lessons or instruments (ukes) for students who cannot afford to pay for them, at Sonia's discretion. We also aim to support collaborative music projects aimed at supporting charity, raising awareness around social issues, promoting diversity and accessibility in music, ecology and sustainable living, community building, etc.

Payment of $25/person/class can be made in cash on the day or directly to the following account. Bulk purchase discounts are available as follows: $120 for 5 sessions ($5 discount) or $200 for ten sessions ($50 discount). The sessions bought in bulk do not need to be consecutive, but please keep track of your own attendance diligently as it would be complicated for me to do so instead. Thanks!

Please be sure to check this page the day before attending and make sure you have RSVP'd as well. Thanks :)

I'm excited to be with you all again after my extensive travels and to rehearse a repertoire of songs with layered parts and harmonies & bring them out into the city and community, to spread some much-needed joy and laughter through music in these complex times.

I will be hosting weekly 12.30 to 1.45pm Sunday sessions at the Nix on Nixon Street in Grey Lynn and hope to see you there. I look forward to touching base and building some beautiful music up together.

Could those of you who have not done so yet please fill in the survey form I have created, below? This will help me decide on a tentative setlist to get us started for the year. Thanks to those who have filled it in already.
