Description

Class Experience

        The ukulele is one of my favorite instruments because of its captivating, relaxing, and joyful sound. It is my goal to help students learn to make music that they and their families will enjoy. In this class, students will learn the fundamentals of ukulele playing in order to perform two popular songs: "You Are my Sunshine" and "I Lava You." They will also learn to read basic rhythms and use tablature to read the music notes they will fingerpick. I believe it is important to teach...

 Students will learn to fingerpick all notes in the C, E, and A strings, and strum the C, F, G7, and G chords. The class goal is to perform "I Lava You."

        I am a professional musician and a State-Certified K-12 Music teacher based in Miami, Florida. I hold a Master’s Degree in Music Education and a Bachelor's in Violin Performance from Florida International University. 
       I have worked with pre-school and school-aged children for over five years, and have taught group music lessons as well as private music lessons to hundreds of students. I am passionate about passing on the love and knowledge I have for music to all of my students.

Homework is practicing the pieces and techniques learned.

-Students will need a soprano or tenor ukulele for $30-40. I advise younger students to buy a soprano and older students to buy a tenor.
