The one-hour session opens with a&nbsp;warm-up lesson followed by a group photo pose. There's no set song book. Instead, performers are encouraged to request songs and submit song sheets in line with the schedule theme. In the line-up, the songs are ordered by number of chords from low to high. Song sheets are shared and scrolled on screen so that all participants can focus on playing and singing. Every session is publicly live-streamed on YouTube and posted on the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/3chord3" target="_blank">Facebook Group</a>&nbsp;page. The video recordings serve as "play along videos" for practice and are unlisted by the next session. There's a small fee to register and participate in Zoom. Participants are welcome to join the host in-person in Boston or elsewhere. The club will meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month in 2024.&nbsp; About the founder and host <a href="http://www.anneku.com" target="_blank">Anne Ku</a> considers the ukulele to give the easiest and fastest means to engage in music and connect with others. She founded "3 Chord Thursday' as a virtual stage to share the love of music and encourages all her music students to participate. She is an active member of the Ukulele Union of Boston (UUoB) whose club events are listed on <a href="https://www.meetup.com/BostonUke/" target="_blank">Meetup</a>.
