I will freely admit I am a total SUNFLOWER … I love being out, especially in the morning sun or facing the evening sunset, so I am really enjoying this first bout of summer weather we’ve had here in Portland. A great chance to check in about summer offerings at the studio!
June 23 ~ Pedalpalooza ‘Ukulele Bike Jam
Our 3rd Annual! Join us for a nice ride around inner SE / NE Portland, stopping at different parks and public spaces to play and sing some simple 3- and 4-chord songs together. We’ll meet at 3:30pm at Colonel Summer Park on SE 17th and Taylor. Full details on the Shift2Bikes calendar (plus more rides to explore)
July ~ NatureSong Retreats
I’ll be hosting two one-day NatureSong Songwriting Retreats this summer. Each retreat will take us into the natural environment of a public park in the Portland Metro region. We’ll spend some time in the morning out in the park, engaging together and individually in what each park has to offer. In the afternoon, we’ll turn to writing, taking inspiration from our morning’s experiences. More details / registration here.
July / August ~ Summer ‘Ukulele Jam Series
This ‘Ukulele Jam Summer Series is a new series I’m launching this summer. Each week, we’ll circle up outdoors and play simple, 3- and 4-chord songs together, *without music*. Teaching music by ear, and coaching folks on learning music by ear is my specialty, so I will be there for you every step of the way! Learn more about specific dates and themes in Southeast Portland, Southwest Portland / Beaverton, or Live on Zoom.
Woohoo! Lots of fun ahead! Feel free to peruse the website shop further and/or reach out with any questions here. See you this summer!
