Mark Baker, singer/songwriter and ukelele slinger extraordinaire, will be teaching a Ukelele Workshop in Friday Harbor at the home of Jim and Kate Schuman on Saturday, Sept. 12th from 1:00- 3:00 pm.
Mark Baker teaches ukelele in the Phoenix area, and leads a group of almost 100 enthusiastic uke players in Sun City, AZ. He is sponsored by Ohana and has just released his first CD of some well-loved tunes featuring guitar, ukelele, and Mark’s beautiful voice. He chose songs by Gordon Lightfoot, Zac Brown, John Denver, Joni Mitchell, Harry Chapin, and Neil Diamond, among others, for this first CD.
He’s coming to Friday Harbor next weekend and will be teaching you how to add “color, or pop” to songs you already know. We’ll work on fingerpicking, riffs, jazz chords, and different ways to play a chord throughout a song to give it texture and add interest.
Cost: $40 per student
All skill levels welcome: Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced

On Sunday, September 13th, he and Kate will do a one-hour concert at San Juan Golf and Tennis Club. The show starts at 5:00. Everyone is welcome – this is a great public venue!
