Founder of the ‘Key Strummers’ teaches Dick Wolfsie how to make a ukulele

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — Each and every week Dick Wolfsie shares a story that is unique to central Indiana. 

This week Dick went to Noblesville where he caught up with an old friend he hasn’t seen in years.

Geoff Davis is the man behind the ukulele who started the youth musical group the Key Strummers. The Key Strummers are a ukulele jazz band that was started at the Key Learning Community school in 1999.

Davis taught at the school for years, providing kids with the opportunity to learn the musical instrument. 

Since his retirement from teaching at the school Davis has started teaching people how to build ukuleles. He also teachs shop class to high school and middle school kids.
