This is a class for (advanced) beginners and intermediate students, we will build on student's skills: learning to switch between chords, mixed strumming patterns and rhythms while learning "Someone to Lava" song. This is an inclusive class and children of all abilities and disabilities are welcome. I have experience in a classroom as an Early Years and Primary Teacher with a variety of children. Please send me a quick message with details about your child's needs or diagnosis and I will do my best to accommodate them in my class! This class follows this structure: 1. We will sing a simple 'Hello Song'. 2. We will learn the chords required for the song. 3. We will practise the strumming pattern for the song 4. We will learn the song, line by line, verse by verse. 5. Students can perform parts of the song should they choose to. ♪ This class will meet the needs of each type of learner, that includes kinaesthetic, visual, and auditory. For best results in seeing success with learning new songs is practising the chord transitions during class and outside it. ♪ Please note that this is not a class for a student who has never played the ukulele before. Students should have experience of playing at least 2 of the following chords: C Major, F Major, G7 chords. 🎵 Please check my Absolute Beginners Ukulele Class to learn the basics: https://outschool.com/classes/1-2-ready-play-absolute-beginners-uke-xJlSzd63#usuu5xarZy

Parental Guidance
Please make sure you check the classroom's welcoming message that will have a link to a YouTube video that explains how to tune your child's ukulele. It is imperial to have a tuned ukulele for this class.
Supply List
➡️ Please make sure that students have a TUNED ukulele for each class. Please check the course's welcome message to see how you can tune the ukulele. ➡️ Learners can use a pick, but it is not compulsory; I actually recommend the use of fingers for strumming/picking. ➡️ In order for me to give feedback and see clearly the learner while playing their instrument, please make sure you position the learners, so I can see their BOTH hands when playing, head to the waist, in a well-lit room (the light coming from their front, not from the back). The young learner can sit on the floor, with their legs crossed. If they are joining from an iPad/laptop, they can also be on the floor or a little stool, it can point straight or downwards. ➡️ Please note that the learner can't sit on an armchair as this will restrict the way their instrument needs to be positioned and also restricts the movement of the learner's arms. A chair with no arms, or a stool are recommended. Both learner's feet should be on the floor, not hanging. ➡️ Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or concerns. 🎵 The teacher will provide the songs and other files (strumming and chords sheets); 🎵 Ukulele (Soprano or Concert Standard tuning G C E A) 🎵 Ukulele Tuner App

♪ My name is Bella and I have been a teacher for 20 years. I love teaching music, guitar and ukulele to young children because it gives them a way to FIND who they are, to EXPRESS their feelings, emotions and thoughts and to LET IT GO!
♪ I have found that young children love playing musical instruments, making up their own songs, creating rhythmic patterns and learning a new musical instrument through story-type lessons. I am building each new lesson on their interests and passion, aiming not only to teach them a skill, but to develop a life-long LOVE for music, to SING, CREATE and PLAY the songs from their hearts!
