Supply List
Hi Everyone! Welcome to my ukulele class where we will strum your favourite songs and nursery rhymes! Please check out my tips for a great class: → Learners can use a pick, but it is not compulsory; I actually recommend the use of fingers for strumming/picking. → 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 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 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 chord sheets); ♪ Students can have a soprano ukulele, concert or tenor ukulele. ♪ Tuner App ♪ Please make sure you tune your ukulele before class as we will not discuss tuning in this class. Please feel free to send me a message if you have any other questions. I am looking forward to meeting you in class soon! Kind regards, ~Katie
