Practising 5 minutes a day will help with the development of the hand and fingers and strengthen the muscles required to play the ukulele and press on the frets. Students can practise the strumming techniques and the chords discussed in class. The teacher will share digital copies of the songs that we learn during our classes, so students can practise those songs as well.Class Experience

Beginner Level
⭐⭐Hello & Welcome to SING CREATE PLAY!⭐⭐
👉 In this beginners ukulele class we learn the basics of ukulele while playing different children's and pop songs. We will learn how to strum different rhythmic patterns and hold 4-5 chords.
👉 This class is great for children who are beginners (not total beginners) or who have already played the ukulele before, but want to learn more songs, get better at strumming and switching between the chords faster.
~ Please send us a message before the course starts if we need to adapt our class to any specific needs of your learner and their learning style. This way, we make sure we provide the best experience for our families!

Learning Needs
🌟 This is an inclusive class. Children of all abilities and disabilities are welcome. Including ADHD, Autism, Emotional Learning Disabilities, & more. Contact us with any questions or concerns regarding your learner's needs!
Supply List
➡️ Please make sure that students need to have a TUNED ukulele for each class. Please check the class welcoming message for details on how to tune your ukulele. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRRMQZ2DMpg&pp=ygUcdHVuaW5nIHVrdWxlbGUgZm9yIGJlZ2lubmVycw%3D%3D ➡️ Learners can use a pick, but it is not compulsory; I actually recommend the use of fingers for strumming/picking. ➡️ In order for me to give feedback and see clearly the learner while playing their instrument, 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 light coming from their front, not from the back). 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 note that the learner can't sit on an armchair as this will restrict the way their instrument needs to be positioned and also restricts the movement of the learner's arms. A chair with no arms, or a stool are recommended. BOTH learner's feet should be on the floor, not hanging. ➡️ 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 chords sheets); - Ukulele (Soprano or Concert Standard tuning G C E A) - Ukulele Tuner App
