New for Summer 2022

ACCC Singing Chinese Songs with Ukulele (Zoom)

Instructor: AJ Jew

Thursdays, July 28 to August 18, 1 to 2pm, free/$35 #8783

Learn Chinese language, sing songs, and play the ukulele at the same time. This may seem like a daunting task but you will learn all this in our 4-session Zoom class. This beginner class will go through some basic chords on the ukulele to accompany singing some popular Chinese songs. No need to read music, have a good singing voice, or have nimble fingers. You also have the option to just sing-along and not play the ukulele. After the sessions, you will learn enough to perform, or you may get the opportunity to perform at ACCC’s Annual Virtual Moon Festival Celebration in September. Music supplies will not be provided.

Space is limited.

ACCC Stories Behind Songs (Zoom)

Instructor: Andrew Chang

Thursdays, August 25 to September 15, 10 to 11am, free/$35 #8784

This is an interactive class where participants will listen and/or sing some common songs and learn about the song writers and singers and the stories, myths, folklores behind some popular and common Western and Chinese songs. Class participants are also encouraged to share their favorite songs and stories.

ACCC The Art of Plant and Flower Photography (Zoom)

Instructor: Chris Shum

Wednesdays, July 27 to August 10, 10:30 to11:30am, $40/$65, #8781

Photography is an excellent activity to keep the brain active and boost memory as well as help prevent dementia and boost self-confidence.

Participants will complete simple assignment with guidance and will share their work in class.

Location: Elizabeth Gamble Garden, Palo Alto
Critique Session: on Zoom, Wednesday, August 31, 10:30 to 11:30am

There is nothing compared to a real hands-on, in-person training to try out techniques with the instructor right by you to answer any questions you might have. You will have tons of fun learning in practical situation while you shoot. In this workshop, we will meet at a local garden to practice photographing flowers/plants together followed by a separate critique session via Zoom to share our work!
