Sunbury signers share tunes

Sunbury residents have been busy perfecting their guitar skills and learning new music at the Sunbury Neighborhood House drop-in guitar sessions.

The informal adult guitar sessions are held weekly on Tuesdays from 9am to noon at the neighbourhood house at Elizabeth Drive.

Program co-ordinator Ebony Finnin said everyone is welcome to join and group members often bring in their favourite sheet music bought from home.

“Singing and guitar music fills the hallway from 9am … and [it] often draws an audience from our playgroup participants,” Ms Finnin said.

“Some hover near the doorway for a listen, or a dance and a few of these little music enthusiasts have even joined in for a jam with ukuleles.

“Tuesday is a busy day at the house … [and] the connection made with music has no barrier and this group has heart.”

Group participant Gino Schembri has been going to the sessions for a few years and said you do not need to have experience to attend.

“I have been going for a few years every Tuesday morning … it’s just awesome,” Mr Schembri said.

“The beautiful ladies who run the house … are absolutely amazing, always making you welcome with a gorgeous smile and helping everyone.

“So come along and enjoy the fun atmosphere you don’t need to be experienced in playing guitar or singing just enjoy it.”
