“I loved my time at the You Can Uke Retreat! Not only were the classes helpful and fun, but I also enjoyed meeting new friends. It felt like a safe space to share music….no judgement and great encouragement!”

Jeanie, Durango, CO

Amazing experience for an absolute beginner of the Ukulele in a beautiful area of Colorado. If it wasn’t for this retreat, I would had given up the Ukulele until the preceptors identified that the problem was not so much the users fault, but my playing may benefit from some minor adjustments to the instrument . Now, I’m excited to play and the sound is cleaner.”

“Marnie and Cynthia were fantastic hosts! The setting was great and all the sessions were a fun and great learning experience. And we got to share this with a great group of like minded other ukulele players.”
