Our monthly Lamorinda Drum Circle is hosted by Kathy Quain Music Educator, Music Therapist & Remo Drum Circle Facilitator

We’ll warm up with lightly playing as people arrive then center with deep breathing before drumming more. All are welcome including beginners. Kathy will review drumming essentials, favorite rhythms and more. Bring your favorite drum but know that we will have some extra drums. This program was initially for seniors and is open to younger adults as well. Please share this info with your friends - No experience necessary!

We are pleased to be the only West Coast dealer for Shima Ukuleles! Shima is the family-owned business of ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro and his brother, Bruce Shimabukuro, a fellow artist and teacher. Shima Ukes have a concert-quality sound and feel at an affordable price. The instrument was designed by Jake who took great care to ensure that playability and tone quality were not compromised with Shima Ukulele’s lower price point. Sustainable mahogany was selected for its consistent tonal character and each instrument is dressed with a custom D’Addario Pro Arte string set to help achieve a warm, consistent tone.

​

We carry the inaugural ukulele from Shima, the Jake Shimabukuro Wideneck Soprano Ukulele With Tenor Range. Plus each ukulele is signed by Jake himself! This uke has a soprano body, a concert-length neck, and the neck width of a tenor Kamaka. It is easy to play for beginners and experienced players alike.  

We have a terrific selection of used band instruments, orchestra instruments, guitars, and ukuleles. You can get amazing deals on used and vintage student, step-up, and pro instruments. You can also find some very unusual instruments as well (you want a Flugalbone? Yep - we got it).

Check out our inventory here and come on by!

The Outdoor Ukulele™ is an American made composite polycarbonate instrument developed for backpacking, camping, and traveling. They've been played in the Arctic Ocean, paddled down the Amazon River, and hiked both the Appalachian and Pacific Crest Trails.

Lamorinda Music is the only dealer for Outdoor Ukulele on the US Mainland west of the Mississippi! 

These ukes are tough (rated from -40 degrees to 220 degrees), sound great, and are reasonably priced (sopranos start at $105). They are great as a first uke or as an additional uke you can take to the beach without worry about it. Come check them out!

Come join us for a fun, no-pressure weekly gathering of ukulele fans. All skill levels are welcome – whether you are brand new to the ukulele or an experienced player you will have a great time and grow as a musician.
