Beginner Level
All Ukulele Players Welcome! This is a private Ukulele mentoring session that can be booked for any level of Ukulele player. Students who have never played the Ukulele to advanced players. One-On-One lessons are a perfect way to grow quickly with your instrument as we will be able to cater directly to your needs as a musician to pinpoint the areas where you can grow the most! We will learn your favorite songs as this will allow new musical concepts to make sense faster and help you see greater results in your playing! Each Week we will grow in each of the following areas: - Ukulele single note melody and chord strumming Technique! - Practicing Playing and Singing YOUR FAVORITE SONGS! - Strum patterns and rhythm - Improvisation and creativity Class Details: - Ukulele Technique Each lesson will contain guidance and instruction on basic Ukulele playing technique that will equip students with the knowledge and exercises that will help them hold their instrument and press frets down most effectively while using the least amount of effort. - How to read Ukulele Tablature Ukulele melodies are most easily read on Tablature rather than traditional sheet music. Learning how to read “Tabs” will allow students to learn any melody quickly and achieve a sense of success and growth with their instrument that would take months to achieve through traditional sheet music. - New songs each week! Each week students will be taught popular songs or songs they have grown up hearing as a way to facilitate the learning process of the Ukulele. Its like putting a face with a name - using familiar melodies will allow the more complex pieces of melody and theory to build from their pre-existing knowledge of songs you already know by heart! - Creativity! Each student will learn the ability to create their own melodies with the power of the major scale. These 8 notes which are the framework for most melodies in popular music can be used to improvise and write melodies of their own which will allow each student to access the creativity that is within them!
Learning Goals
Proper form and technique: right and left hand positioning for fretting, strumming and single note playing
Chords and Melodies: hand positions and strumming techniques that will bring your instrument to life

Teacher expertise and credentials
8 years of professional songwriting, performing and touring experience has equipped me with the ability to meet the needs of any musician at any skill level looking to grow their musical ability and enjoyment! I have toured with nationally renown recording artists and musicians. Although the music I have written and released has accumulated of 2,000,000 streams, nothing makes me happier than seeing my students enjoy music!
I’ve been teaching guitar, ukulele, and voice for 4 years now in Jacksonville Beach and have seen my students grow in their ability to learn songs quickly, sing and play, as well as create music of their own! Everyone deserves to be given the space to explore music and to be walked into a space of confidence and creativity that music provides.
I hope to encourage each of my students to express themselves through their instrument or their voice and to have fun! There are millions of musicians out there, but NO ONE can play like YOU!
