After completing my beginner course OR with the basic knowledge of C, G, Am, and F chords as well as the DD UU D (down down up up down) strum pattern, learners can enroll in this level 2 class. In this course, we will cover Em, A, and D chords and learn at least one new song. Students should engage in the classroom before our video meetings to ensure we are learning songs that will be new to them. Some songs we might learn in level 2: We Are Gonna Be Friends by The White Stripes Turn the World Around by Harry Belafonte Games by Tessa Violet Fireflies by Owl City Let It Be by the Beatles Don't Start Now by Duo Lippa or whatever your learner wants! I am a very flexible teacher who likes to give students autonomy and choices in the classroom so if your learner wants to learn any song with C, G, Am, F, D, or Em chords in them--I will try my hardest to accommodate. I also do a lot of one on one question answering and move at the pace of our slowest learners while giving tips and ways to move on to those going more quickly than others. We will also touch on the history of the ukulele, different strum patterns, and explore the kinds of music that are playable on the soprano/concert ukulele.
Learning Goals
We will cover Em, A, and D chords and learn at least one new song.
Students will learn more about the ukulele and gain some confidence playing the instrument.

FUN FACT: My favorite musical is Les Mis, so much so that my cat's name is Gavroche.Reviews
