Nala Walla (right) and her son, Montana, 6, strum ukuleles as they and about 14 other people take part in a ukulele lesson being taught by George Yount (far left, in foreground). The lesson was held at Crossroads Music in Port Townsend on June 21 as part of Make Music Day. Emilia R. of Port Townsend, seen in the background wearing a blue shirt, also participated. Yount told the ukulele tyros that they didn’t need sheet music to know when to change chords. “Let your ear tell you,” he said. Yount taught the students about the strings, how to strum and how to position their fingers. Yount has played the instrument for seven years. Photo by Chris Tucker
Organizers of Make Music Day, which took place June 21, are collecting stories, images and sounds for a multimedia collage to be shared online and via radio and television in the fall.
“We were ready for a great day last Wednesday, but had no idea how much magic would pop up everywhere in our very musical town,” said event producer Judith-Kate Friedman of Songwriting Works.
There are three ways to participate in the collection:
1. Send pictures, photos, videos, stories or impressions of Make Music Day to
songwritingworks@gmail.com or relate them through voice mail at 385-1160.
2. Take a short survey to capture your experience and share ideas for next year at tinyurl.com/makemusicsurvey. (All respondents can receive a free song download.)
3. Contact Songwriting Works to volunteer creative or administrative skills for the digital storytelling project and a harvesttime event in the fall, or to contribute in other ways.
A steering council for Make Music Day 2018 is now forming, said Friedman.
