The music of the Caribbean is a GREAT way to solidify and refine the basics of Ukulele strumming while exploring new syncopated rhythmic terrain. Stu will show you how to play the joyful Caribbean grooves of Ska, Reggae, Rocksteady and Calypso.

This workshop is all about learning to groove better - You'll learn lots of fun and uplifting songs, new syncopated rhythms & strums, melodic riffs, and level up on your rhythm & coordination. Be prepared to have a blast getting into the groove!

"I had the opportunity to take Stu Fuchs' 'Ukulele Zen' week long class at Omega during the July 4th week. I took the class to try something different and I was not disappointed. The class was a wonderful experience on a variety of levels. Stu and his wife Sarah helped us build a strong foundation for a novice Ukulele player such as myself. We learned chords, several songs, strumming and picking techniques all at a pace that was fun and easy to follow. These were simple techniques that are the building blocks to being a better more dynamic player, a day at a time.

The class is called "Ukulele Zen" for a reason. We were shown a variety of meditation practices for dwelling in the present moment and staying being aware of each sound and note, in recognizing it's beauty."

This workshop residency will include ukulele classes, and a Ted X style performance/talk with video examples of healing music work and more.

Humans of all cultures have a deep and instinctual need to express themselves creatively on a daily basis for physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Often called “the Divine art,” music is a powerful vehicle for wellness and transformation. In this deep and joyful program, master teaching artist Stuart Fuchs, assisted by Sarah Carlisle, will guide you on a healing journey into the wonders of music.

The evening satsang performances will lift and inspire your heart. The afternoon workshops will explore creative play, listening deeply, and connecting to each other in the present moment through musical meditation techniques. You will leave with a personalized path for using music as a meditation method for cultivating greater presence and compassion.

No musical experience required. Feel free to bring an instrument, or use your voice and creativity to explore this holistic method of music improvisation.
