Welcome to the Tulsa Ukulele Club Website

Welcome to the Tulsa Ukulele Club website. We are a group of people of all ages who enjoy playing the ukulele. We welcome every level of player from beginner to professional. We play a wide variety of music, as diverse as our membership. Right now, if you come to one of our meetings you are going to hear a lot of old time standards, country, folk and blues, possibly some Gospel, but we are welcome to new influences.

While our emphasis is on ukuleles, we welcome other instruments too. Bring your harmonica or guitar and of course, a kazoo is always welcome.

We are a family oriented organization and encourage the entire family to attend, even the little guys, so long as they do not disrupt the meeting. Watch this site for special announcements for meetings when we will be offering free beginner's ukulele lessons.

We have been evaluating several alternative sites for our meetings. Watch the blog postings below for the latest meeting place. At this time (10-17) we are meeting in the lobby of the Cancer Center of America in the first Thursday, have an Open Mike Night and jam on the second Thursday at Burgundy Place and the other Thursdays are jams at Burgundy Place or some other location. Check the blog, the web page or contact us for latest plans.

Thank you for visiting our Blog. You will also find a lot of useful links for songs and instruction material in the Handy Links section on the right side of the page.

We also have a web page that contains a lot of the songs in our song book -- see https://sites.google.com/site/tulsaukuleleclub/

We also have a YouTube channel and a Facebook page ("Tulsa Uke Club").

Please contact us if you have any questions at tulsaukes@gmail.com.

February Meeings

The first Thursday club meeting went well with a good turnout and a couple new folks showing up.

Our first Tuesday club meeting with be this coming Tuesday the 12.  This is Valentine's Day and I hope we can all enjoy some songs with a "love" theme.  I've selected a few to share, and some of them are "in love" and some are "out of love".  There are a ;lot of the "out of love" category in Pop and Country Music.


This is also Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras so if you have the appropriate color clothes or beads, be sure to wear them.  Now I have enough songs selected for Tuesday, but if you have not selected one, you might look for something with a New Orleans theme.  Here is a link with hundreds of songs in that group, so you can probably find one you like.

Hope to see you on Tuesday, beads and all.
