The Bell City Strum Club is a free community group for adults interested in playing ukulele and singing as a group.  Beginners are welcome; no previous experience with the ukulele is required.  At each gathering we’ll take the time to teach chords and strumming techniques, moving forward at a pace that allows everyone to feel confident. Members of the Bell City Strummers will be available to assist. 

The BCSC meets twice a month for 90 minutes. Registration is not required, but new members should email Robin at rharding@brantfordlibrary.ca to introduce themselves and for a brief orientation. A limited number of ukuleles and music stands are available to borrow.
