This is designed to be an easy, beginner-level course for the Lion King fan and young ukulele student. Together, we will learn the song "Can You Feel The Love Tonight". While this class is beginner-friendly, it is not intended to be an introduction-to-ukulele type of course. Learners will be expected to be familiar with tuning and basic playing technique. Check out my "Tuned In" course for and introductory style format. Specifically, we will be learning the main chorus of the song. These are the lyrics: can you feel the love tonight? the peace the evening brings ....... the world for once ...... in perfect harmony with all its living things ...... Using ukulele tab music, learners will learn how to play both the melody (single note, singing part) and chord progression (strumming) of the song. Music sheet and chord chart will be available for download and are required in order to participate in this class.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how both melody (single note phrases) and harmony (chords) work together to bring a song to life.
More importantly, student's will learn how enjoyable it can be to play a song they know and love on their own instrument.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Hope International University
I teach guitar, ukulele, beginning piano, and drums!
I’ve been teaching private lessons for the better part of ten years.
As a self taught musician - turned - instructor, I aim to present learning music as less of a task and more of a gateway into the world of art as a whole. Sure, I tried the beginners books and things of the like. But what really fanned the flame was learning a song that I already enjoyed by a band I already loved. I take the same approach in my teaching. I want to, as quickly as possible, have the learner playing songs they will enjoy.
