(HALLOWEEN SPECIAL!!)

In this fun and interactive camp, students will dive into some of the most iconic songs from the Descendants movies, all while leveling up their guitar, and ukulele skills while having fun doing some voice acting! Each week, we’ll tackle two exciting songs from the Descendants soundtrack, exploring new chords, rhythms, and techniques. Whether you're strumming on the ukulele, jamming on guitar, or playing both, this class is perfect for you. By the end, you’ll feel like you're right in the middle of Auradon and the Isle of the Lost!

This class is designed for advanced beginners to intermediate players who know basic chords and want to explore more complex strumming patterns, chord changes, and techniques. Together, we’ll make each song come alive with wickedly cool hammer-ons, fingerpicking, and syncopated rhythms, giving every tune that signature Descendants energy!

Unsure of whether you'd like to enroll? No worries! I offer a one-time class with similar content, so feel free to check it out on my profile for more details.

What Will Be Taught?

-Mastering new chord progressions and strumming patterns

-Developing smooth chord transitions and playing with rhythm

-Incorporating fingerpicking techniques for more variety

-Learning how to groove with syncopated rhythms and performance skills

Class Structure:

Each week, we’ll focus on two Descendants songs. I’ll guide students step-by-step through learning each song, starting with the basic structure and chords, then building in more advanced techniques like hammer-ons, syncopation, and fingerpicking.

 We’ll begin each class by reviewing the previous songs, followed by a live demo of the week’s new tunes. The rest of the session will be hands-on, with students playing along, asking questions, and practicing together. Toward the end, we’ll have time for a group jam where students can showcase what they've learned and play their favorite song from the camp!

How Will I Teach?

My teaching style is all about interaction, encouragement, and having fun! I’ll demonstrate each part of the songs clearly on both guitar and ukulele, breaking down the more complex elements so everyone feels comfortable. We’ll use a mix of discussion, live playing, and interactive games to keep the class lively and engaging. I love getting students involved, so there will be plenty of opportunities for participation and group play!

How Much Will Learners Interact with Me?

Students will get lots of attention during each class. I’ll guide everyone through the material and encourage questions and interaction throughout. Whether we’re working on strumming patterns, tricky chord changes, or performance tips, I’ll be there to support each student’s progress!

[REQUIRED] What You’ll Need:

A tuned guitar or ukulele (or both!)
Basic knowledge of chords and strumming patterns
Enthusiasm to rock out with some Descendants tunes!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Xiomara Ezell, and I am thrilled to meet you in the classroom! With a passion for music and art, I have dedicated over five years to teaching guitar, ukulele, and art classes that are all about having fun and getting creative. I’ve been playing music for over 10 years and drawing for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been exploring the exciting world of digital art for the past three years.

I have extensive experience working with students aged 6 to 18 in various settings, including one-on-one lessons, small groups of 5-10, and larger classroom sizes of 20-30. I began my teaching journey as an intern guitar teacher, and since then, I’ve taught on various platforms, helping students discover their love for music and art.

In my classes, I focus on making learning enjoyable and accessible. From beginner guitar and ukulele classes to exciting art sessions, I blend structured lessons with playful activities to keep students motivated and inspired. We’ll explore everything from easy one-finger chords and popular TikTok songs to creative art techniques and digital art projects.

My teaching philosophy is centered around creating a supportive and encouraging environment where every student feels valued and excited to learn. I believe in fostering creativity and confidence in each learner, helping them discover their potential and express themselves freely.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy exploring new music, painting, and spending time with my family. I am passionate about making each lesson a unique and fun experience, bringing creativity into everything we do.

Thank you for the opportunity to teach your child. I look forward to meeting you in the classroom. Enroll your learner today and let’s start this exciting journey together! :)
