4 in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Students will learn how to hold, tune, and play 3 chords successfully on the ukulele.Class Experience
No experience needed!!!! As a group we will learn ukulele basics and the 3 chords needed for our first song. Each class will start with a review (if applicable), an introduction of our new concept, and end with playing a song together. Solo performances in front of the group are completely optional. Students will unmute their mics when the teacher is listening to correct tuning and chord playing. Camera access is not required but highly encouraged for teaching purposes. This is a stress free course for all of us to learn together. I'm not grading you on anything! Our goal is to make music and have fun! Week 1 - Learn how to hold, tune, and play open strings on the ukulele. Week 2 - Review week 1 materials and learn chords C and F. Week 3 - Review chords C and F and learn how to change between the two. You even get to play a popular song! Week 4 - Learn G7 chord and how to switch between the 3 different chords. Week 5 - Learn how to play your first ukulele song!!! Week 6 - Review song learned and learn how to find songs using just these 3 chords. This is a pretty fast learning course. Private lessons as well as continuation classes will be offered after the first class. Message me for more details. If you have a student interested that is not part of the age group listed, please let me know. Depending on the age we may be able to make an exception.

Supply List
All you need is a ukulele (no baritone ukulele, please), a clip on tuner (I recommend snark tuners $12), and your computer. I also like to use headphones but those are optional. Average soprano ukulele cost is $50 - $70. Toy ukuleles from 5 below or walmart are not acceptable instruments to use for this course. Message me for recommendations.
