YELLOW SPRINGS SENIOR CENTER
Weekly
Ukulele Class
Tuesdays, 10–11:30 am, Great Room
Learn to play the ukulele. This class, taught by local musician, Susan Wolf, is an introduction to ukulele playing. Because each learner will have a different starting place, instruction will be part group and part individual. Ukuleles will be provided for in-class use. The objective is to learn music vocabulary, mostly familiar songs. Recreational music is an intriguing and fun activity. This class is an opportunity to get started playing the ukulele, the easiest stringed instrument.
Knitting, Crochet, & Crafts
Wednesdays, 10 am–noon, Great Room
Weekly knitting/crocheting.
Big Talk
Wednesdays, 10:30 am, Fireplace Room
Have you ever felt lonely or disconnected? Does the question, “how are you doing?” lead you nowhere? Skipping the small talk, Big Talk is the intimacy of listening and speaking to get to know yourself or another more deeply. In a small group and dyads, you will have the opportunity to dive a little deeper into your hearts while being respectfully listened to.
