Tamás GállLast Saturday, we had a fantastic Level II course with an incredibly enthusiastic and lovely group of ukulele players.

Report on Course III in December 2022
Tamás GállA few days before the course, a kind ukulele player called Balázs phoned and offered to help with carrying the ukuleles and other equipment needed for the course. So on the morning of the course we met, jumped into the car and headed for Irányi Street. Within a minute or two Ricsi arrived—he even fo…

Report on Course II in February 2025
Tamás GállAs I keep writing reports on the courses, I am gradually running out of adjectives because the Saturday course on the 22nd was once again so good. At least I had a fantastic time, and I hope the participants did as well. The “schedule” was similar to previous courses: after introductions we worked o…

Tamás GállWe held an almost fully booked Course II on Sunday, 15 September. Thank you once again for your continuing interest in the courses.

Report on Course II in autumn 2023
Tamás GállYesterday I woke to a cool morning and light drizzle, so I got a little wet by the time I had unloaded everything at the venue for Ukulele Course II. Once again, thanks to those who arrived early and helped; without you I could not have set up the room so quickly. We unusually began the course by pl…

Report on Course I in November 2022
Tamás GállOn this cold morning I loaded a million ukuleles and all the other necessary gear into the car, and because I set off a little late, I put my foot down so I could reach the course venue on time—and find a parking space. Some of you arrived at exactly the same time; thank you for helping carry everyt…
