Students will learn the basics of ukulele playing including how to hold the instrument, ukulele playing position and rest position, how to strum, proper hand and finger position, how to play the C chord, and how to sing and play the song "Starlight, Starbright" or "Row Your Boat". They will also improve their rhythm, counting skills, and pattern recognition.
I am a certified music educator with a M.A in Music & Music Education. I fell in love with the ukulele over a decade ago, and have been playing and teaching it ever since. I have been teaching group ukulele classes for 10 years. I also have taught private music lessons for 15 years. I love this instrument and specialize in teaching beginning instrumental music lessons to young beginners. The ukulele is a happy instrument, so my goal is to make learning the ukulele fun and frustration-free.
Homework Offered
Students are encouraged to continue practicing strumming, naming the parts of the ukulele, the C chord, and the song "Starlight, Starbright" or "Row Your Boat" after our class.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
