The Yeppoon Ukulele Movement began as an idea to share music with other likeminded folk. The mission of Yeppoon Ukulele Movement is to provide a fun, friendly, inclusive and supportive environment for people of all ages, race & gender to come and play the ukulele, to sing, to make friends and socialise with and for the love of music.
YUM practices/Jam sessions are the 2nd Sunday of the month at the Community Development Centre Garage (80 John Street) and the 4th Sunday of the month at the Hub (James St), from 3 – 5 pm. (with the exception of the 4th Sunday venue for the month of September only, TBA)
As described by Boris Snikenj, one of our founders. “There seemed to be only those that could and did play around the traps and those who just wanted to enjoy the music and playing at whatever level could be achieved. The uke is the perfect instrument for people of any age or ability to learn to play. I found that I could show anyone a few chords and within quarter of an hour the spark of fun was into their eyes as they too created music.”

Jam Program
Our jam sessions are suitable for all levels to attend. We play, share & jam a diverse range of music from traditional ukulele & folk tunes to disco, pop & heavy metal. Throughout the year, Yum members are invited to perform at various music festivals and events in the local area. Participation is fun but entirely voluntary.
Hope you come along to our jam sessions. BYO friends & ukuleles!
For those of you who would like to ‘try before you buy’, we have a small number of ukuleles at the venue that we lend to people for the session. (Kindly Donated By Green Bros Music in Rockhampton).
