In Helsinki, a series of engaging music sessions offers a complimentary ukulele and rhythm guitar class designed for novices. Participants need not worry about prior experience, as the session begins with foundational skills, enabling attendees to play simple songs by the conclusion. The lesson caters to complete beginners on the ukulele and provides basic rhythm guitar instruction for newcomers as well. The approach is relaxed, focusing on four to six songs throughout the class.

Limited ukuleles and guitars are available for borrowing on a first-come, first-served basis; however, attendees are encouraged to bring their own instruments. For those without an instrument and not ready to buy, there are often options for borrowing from local libraries.

The class includes the following components:

1. Overview of the instrument and basic strumming techniques
2. Learning simple chords (C, G, Am, F, D)
3. Collaboratively playing straightforward songs

Even those with some experience can benefit from the fundamental exercises included in the session, and they are encouraged to participate. For more experienced players, alternative chord shapes will be explored to enhance their skills with various voicings and textures. Additionally, advanced players can utilize a designated area to practice scales and lead lines independently, ensuring they do not disrupt the main lesson.

Children may attend, provided they are accompanied by a responsible adult.
