In this class, especially designed for autistic children, students will learn the very basics of the ukulele by the use of visuals, repetitive tasks, broken down information into very small steps and lots of hands on playing.

HELLO THERE!

My name is Bella, and I am a certified teacher. I have taught in inclusive schools as well as behaviour schools for 20 years. I have always taught a variety of children with different disabilities, especially autistic and ADHD students. 

I am passionate about music and about teaching music, ukulele and guitar to children, especially autistic children who seem to connect with music in a special way!

I also hold a second degree in Social Work (2004) and a Level 3 Diploma in Children's Psychology (2019).
In addition, I have attended the following courses:
💚 Understanding Autism 2021 (undergoing)
💚 Mindfulness for Daily Living 2019
💚 Understanding Anxiety 2019
💚 Behaviour Management (in classroom) 2015
💚 NLP Diploma in Life Coaching 2014
💚 Effective Communication Techniques for Teachers (2014)

I have a daughter who is autistic, a husband who is dyslexic, autistic and has ADHD. I resigned from teaching in public schools two and a half years ago, and I started tutoring and doing interventions for autistic and ADHD children from my home and also online. 

I also teach children direct strategies and techniques to manage their emotions. It has always been part of my classroom management, and I used to do this at least once a day at circle time in my school.

My classes are fun, interactive, small groups of children where each child finds their voice and shines bright! 
➡️ Please make sure that students need to 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 is 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 
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Parental assistance may be required.
This lesson is for students with a soprano, concert or tenor ukulele.
