Class Experience
In this one-time one-on-one class, we will create a personalized song using lyrics and ukulele chords. 1-on-1 instruction individualized to each learner's unique needs. Some previous ukulele experience is highly recommended. It will be helpful if the learner knows at least the C and F chords. We will write a simple chord progression and incorporate the learner's interests, hobbies, family/friends, theme of choice, etc. to create a one-of-a-kind song that can be played again and again. Throughout the process of songwriting we will learn to play, sing, and perform our unique piece of music. Ukulele technique such as strumming, chords, pattern recognition, playing and hand position will be reviewed as we write our song and practice. The learner will be provided with a song sheet after our class that will include their song's lyrics and chord progression so they can continue practicing and playing the song that they wrote.

Hi! My name is Ms. Jackie!
I am a certified music educator. I have taught music in public schools for 11 years and private music lessons for 16 years. I received my M.A. in Music & Music Education from Teachers College, Columbia University and B.M. in Music Education from Ithaca College. I teach music full-time in public elementary schools and part-time on Outschool. I love teaching music so much that I do both!
My specialty is teaching early childhood music classes and beginning instrumental music lessons.
My goal is to make music learning engaging, joyful, and frustration-free!
One of the classes I teach on Outschool is called Uke Can Do It. It is a multi-week group ukulele class designed for young beginners. Students will learn the basics of ukulele including how to hold the instrument, playing position and rest position, how to strum, proper hand and finger position, simple chords, how to count and play chord patterns, and how to play multiple popular children's songs.
I also teach private music lessons for complete beginners, intermediate players, or advanced players who are looking to develop new skills and further their technique.
A fun fact about me is I have a dog named Sammy and he loves when I sing to him! He gets excited and his tail wags a lot!
Hope to see you in my music classes! All learners are welcome!Reviews
