Class Experience

Beginner Level

In this 4 session flex class, beginning ukulele students will learn to play "Surf". No prior knowledge is required, but the students need to already have their ukuleles tuned to the notes G, C, E and A.

I have taught this song to several ukulele classes and it is always a favorite.  If the student can play it fast, it is a very impressive song to play for family and friends.

The students will be required to practice 40 minutes per week. They will have the opportunity to send me audio/video recordings each week for assessment purposes.

The students will need an ukulele that is already tuned to the notes G, C, E and A. 
I will provide a practice log. 
I will also send weekly sections of the song to practice and then a 1-page handout with the complete chord progression for "Surf" on it after the 3rd class.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Each student will receive personalized written feedback for each each audio/video recording they submit. Written feedback will include things that they excelled at and things they need to practice.

No live meetings, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
