| NEW! Ukulele Workshop with Cathy Welsford & Angie Smith |
| Saturday 17 October 2026. 3-4pm. Cathy and Angie are passing through Melbourne in a couple of weeks time so we’ve booked them in to run a public workshop and you are invited!!! Expect fun, popular songs and great ukulele playing tips! Together, Cathy and Angie are the Wild Women of Anywhere Beach, an entertaining and skilled duo! I am fortunate to be on the committee of Australian Ukulele Teachers and Leaders Association with Cathy, who is President. She knows her stuff! I suggest the level of the workshop is beginner – intermediate but I don’t think it’s suited to absolute beginners. You need a basic knowledge of tab reading and can strum simple chords. Westend Music Hub – 61 Triholme Ave, Laverton. Bookings Essential! |

“I’ve had one remote group lesson lead by Steph Payne of Unstrung Music and I learned SO much in that one hour!
I was impressed with her knowledge, and her calm method of explaining things clicked in my mind super fast! I recommend Steph as a music teacher, and I look forward to working with her more to increase my skills! Thank you Steph! The gift of music is ongoing, and I am truly grateful.”
