Learn to Play the Ukulele

Do you know playing an instrument can boost creativity and elevate one’s mood? At SpringRidge at Charbonneau, the active retirement community’s residents are reaping these benefits and more thanks to a weekly ukulele class. Known as the “SpringRidge Strummers,” the group has revamped its lessons to adhere to social distancing guidelines. A stringed instrument with roots in Hawaii and the lute family, the ukulele produces delightful melodic sounds. Residents, many who have never played an instrument, have been thrilled to discover a new talent.
