Luthier "Pays it Forward" in Free Ukulele Hootenanny at the Pennypack Environmental Resource Trust
March, 2017, Huntingdon Valley, PA: Paul Lange, Principal of Singing Strings Luthier Guitars and Ukuleles completed a 6-week series of Ukulele sessions, “Learn, Play, Sing and Have Fun! open to members of the Trust and all local residents. Six sessions were held between January and March this year, and hosted by Singing Strings Luthier Guitars and Ukuleles, the sessions were free and open to the public, many of who dusted off their old instruments and brought them in to, “Learn, Play, Sing and Have Fun!” Some attendees had rarely or never played before, and were loaned ukuleles, handcrafted by Paul Lange. “Our goal for these free sessions was to revive interest in the music just for fun. Besides the music, I hoped to bring a better understanding of the skill and art involved in making stringed instruments,” continued Lange. The musicians who brought in their ukes got tips on reconditioning, re-stringing them and reviving their interest from many free ukulele resources and songbooks available in online resources.
Up to 20 players attended the various sessions, including retirees, working folks, parents, grandparents who brought along in their interested children and grandchildren. The free sessions may continue from time to time throughout the year. Along with the sponsors, a few of the Hootenanny Ukulelians will share their newfound skills in short acoustic music sets at the Trust’s first annual arts festival in May. www.singingstringsluthier.com/paying-it-forward.html
