“We’ve known Drew (and her husband, Tom) for almost 20 years. She is so kind and so genuine. A great radio host, a gifted teacher and a beautiful friend. But most importantly…she’s the only woman we know who can go to Bible study, teach a ukulele class and attend a NashTrash tour all in the same week!”

Ukulele lessons
Why children and adults should learn music…
Ukulele students learn:
• Chords and hand placement
• Strum patterns
• Tuning and care for the instrument
• Building a repertoire of memorized songs
• Musical technique
• Musical theory
“Not to sound overly dramatic, but in these times of pandemic, war and division, finding a time every week to play the uke and laugh and sing with sweet friends has been a godsend/goldmine. Drew’s singing voice is like a balm to my soul to boot! It’s one of the best and most fun things I’ve done for myself.”
