      <image:title>'Ukulele Lessons</image:title>
      <image:caption>The ‘ukulele. Often underestimated yet a truly wonderful instrument for anyone aged 7 to 107! Light and portable. Excellent as a solo or ensemble instrument. A great tool for developing ear-training and learning music theory. Inexpensive to purchase compared to other instruments, although a word of warning – many people end up with more than one! You can play while singing! The perfect self-accompaniment. Versatile. It’s perfect for simple campfire sing-a-longs, more challenging classical and traditional music, or covering your favourite radio hits. Ideal for any age, from kids to adults (recommended for age 8+) A great starting point for gaining comfort on a fretted instrument, whether you’ve played another instrument before or not. Pleasant and mellow to listen to. Mom/dad/spouse/roommates won’t require ear plugs while you practice! Private lessons, online sessions, and school/group/team-building workshops.</image:caption>
