Informal assessmentClass Experience
Beginner level class to learn how to play chords and songs on the ukulele We will go over left hand positioning, and how to pluck and strum with the right hand. Then we will practice playing a song that has one chord and then songs with two or three chords. Class Breakdown - Week 1 - String names, frets, and holding the instrument to play it. Strumming along with one-chord songs. Rhythm games and learning rhythm patterns Week 2 - Chord diagrams and strumming to songs. They will learn how to read a chord diagram and practice playing chords. We will play some simple songs and practice keeping a steady beat. More practice with rhythm patterns Week 3 - Following a song chart and understanding where to switch chords More practice playing songs. Strumming patterns and strumming techniques More fun songs and rhythm games My goal is for the students to have fun and increase their interest in learning more about playing the ukulele. The ukulele is a great instrument in itself and it is also a stepping stone towards playing other string instruments like guitar, violin and cello. The musical concepts they learn in this class are a basis for studying music in the future. I welcome learners of all identities and backgrounds into my classes.
Learning Goals
The students will be able to play a few simple songs on one string.
They will learn the basics of holding and playing the instrument.
The students will understand steady beat and tempo, and begin to be able to hold the steady beat while they play an instrument.
They will understand the difference between a melody and chords ( harmony).
The students will learn the note names of the ukelele strings.
They will see how to tune the strings and learn what the string names are.
They will practice playing chords and strumming to a steady beat.
My teaching style is casual and each student will get individual help with their playing.
This class is to prepare them for the Level 2 class.Other Details
Parental Guidance
I will occasionally use youtube to play a song for the class, so that they can hear what the song sounds like.
Uke Buddy is the online ukelele tuner that I recommend, so that you can have your instrument
tuned before each class. I will help out at the beginning of the first class with tuning, but
please do your best to have the student's instrument tuned, because it takes up a lot of class time for
me to tune each instrument over zoom by ear, individually.
