welcome to VIGGY NEWS - a very jiggy newsletter 📩

Getting Jiggy in the Midwest!

10/25 - Traverse City, MI

🎃UKETOBERFEST!

Join me for one day of fun in Northern Michigan with friends Ben Hassenger, Pat Malloy, Frank Youngman, and Punch Drunk. Here’s what I’ll be teaching:

Confident Beginner - Intermediate: “Fingerpicking Fun!”
Want to learn the basics of fingerpicking? Viggy breaks down the left and right hand techniques required for fingerpicking, as well as ways to incorporate fingerpicking patterns into anything you play.

Confident Beginner - Intermediate: “Triplets, Rolls, and Flares, OH MY!”
Let's get real fancy with our strumming hand! We'll learn how to do a series of condensed strumming techniques and apply them to songs by The Beatles, Elvis, and The Beach Boys!

Intermediate: “Strum and Drum”
Want to be your own one-man-band? Let's learn how to turn our ukulele into a drum set with Strum & Drum! We’ll learn the basics of percussive ukulele and how to incorporate kicks and snares into our strumming technique.

The deadline to register is October 20th, one week from today! [Click here to register and join us for a guaranteed graveyard smash!] 🧟🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️

12/4 - Glenview, IL

🌴Ukulele Clinic at Aloha City Ukes!

I’m excited to head to the famous Aloha City Ukes and teach a live workshop all about fingerstyle and chord melody fundamentals. This workshop is geared towards intermediate players. Tickets and seating are limited, so [click here to join me in Chicagoland this December!]

📅 2026 Events!

Can’t catch me in 2025? No worries! I have some fun dates announced for next year, with more on the way soon…

*In a previous newsletter, I had the dates incorrectly written as 4/30-5/6. My apologies!! Shoutout to Peter for messaging me about it. Sorry Peter, love ya!!!!!

I hope to see you on the road! I’ll be bringing my handouts, my slap bracelets loaded with ukulele tabs and goodies, and my silly jokes.
