Steven Sproat, probably the best-known ukulele exponent in the UK has decided it is time to close the doors of his workshops to take time out to concentrate on his songwriting and other projects.
Following his recent live appearance on Aled Jones’ Good Morning Sunday show on BBC Radio 2, singer/songwriter Steven Sproat acknowledges he has played a major part in the renaissance of the ukulele by passing on his techniques and tips to thousands of fellow uke players.
"I've been in such great demand for my workshops that it has left me with very little time to write songs and be creative with my music and I feel the time is right to take a break from teaching. Today's ukulele scene is now fully established really. I must have taught thousands of people over the years to play. It's their time to flourish and develop their skills and individual style of playing to keep the flags flying for the ukulele. I'm so very grateful for the opportunities I've had to teach those who have kindly come along to my uke workshops or on a one to one basis. I've had a lot of fun and learned a lot about myself on that journey and I can channel those experiences into my songwriting."
2012 is the time for all uke fans to catch one of Steven’s final workshops. Steven will be hosting around 12 workshops this year, with the last one in October, before he takes time out to focus on songwriting and other projects. Please check his website www.stevensproat.com or his agent’s website: www.itwl.biz for details of when and where his concluding workshops will be.
