  • said: I enjoyed the friendly and small class of only 5 students. Our tutor, Lindy, was able to move around and give special attention to all of us and make us feel/know that we were making good progress. She also had plenty of room to display a group of ukuleles and their special qualities. The surrounding parks and Roberto's cake shop were an added plus as well as parking on the grounds!
