1-2 hours per week. It is recommended that students practice 10-15 minutes per day for 3-4 days for a minimum of 40 minutes per week. Students will have the opportunity to send me audio or video recordings after every lesson.Assessment
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.Class Experience
In this 4 lesson class, late beginner and early intermediate ukulele students will learn to pick and strum the famous song "Wipe Out". I will use flashcards as visual aids to help students learn the notes and chords. I will model putting the whole song together and give the students tips and tricks to play the song faster and faster. Since practice is an important part of learning an instrument, I recommend that students practice 15 minutes, 4 days per week for a total of 60 minutes practice per week. Practice logs will be provided. Since this is a self-paced, recorded class instead of a live class, students will have the opportunity to send me audio and/or video links after each lesson to check their progress. I will provide personalized written feedback for each recording a student sends. I will also include models of how to correctly play each section of the song in the pre-recorded videos. I have taught this song to literally hundreds of students! It is tricky and takes some practice, but it is so worth the effort because it is fun to play and sounds so impressive!
Syllabus
4 Lessons
over 4 WeeksLesson 1:
Picking notes and reading tablature (tabs)
Learning to pick the melody notes by reading either the notes or tabs or both. Lesson 2:
Reading 1st/2nd endings and picking the rest of "Wipe Out"
Learning about how 1st and 2nd endings work, picking the rest of the melody notes of the song. Lesson 3:
E7, D, A and A7 chords
Learning to strum the chords of Wipe Out using a simple down strum pattern and then beginning a more difficult strum pattern (D DU UDU) Lesson 4:
Putting it all together
Reviewing the picking and strumming for "Wipe Out" and gradually increasing speed. Other Details
Pre-Requisites
I recommend (but do not require) that students take my self-paced class "Surf" first as it uses the same strum pattern as "Wipe Out"
Supply List
The students will need an ukulele that is already tuned to the notes G, C, E and A. I will provide an optional practice log. I will also send sections of the song to practice for each lesson and then a 1-page handout with the complete tabs, notes and chords for "Wipe Out" on it after the 3rd lesson.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

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