Everyone can do it! Applying a ‘student-centred’ approach in a step-by-step process (through progressive
modules), Robert will develop your ukulele playing, singing and general musicality. Beginners I introduces
strumming rhythms, the basic chords and learning to play your favourite songs in a group setting. Beginners II
will introduce music theory and continue to build on the foundations provided in the first module. Informal
performance opportunities will be offered as confidence strengthens.

Robert Bickle’s love of music began when he joined a primary school band as a Bb fife player. Since then he has
learnt to play piano, recorder, flute, penny whistle, uilleann pipes, guitar, ukulele, mandolin and bodhran.
Recently retired after some decades of teaching in Waldorf-Steiner Schools, Robert now has time to immerse
himself in the art he loves by teaching music and hosting ‘song sharing sessions’ at various venues around the
hills. He enjoys sharing what he has learnt about music and helping people become self-directed learners.
