Other Details
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!
Parental Guidance
➡️ Please make sure that students need to have a TUNED ukulele for each class. Please make sure you tune your ukulele for this class https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VOuRBjmzAM&t=9s
➡️ 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
Pre-Requisites
Children will need to have a proper ukulele (not a toy).
Ukulele lessons are 25 mins long. Students should bring to each session their tuned ukulele, music sheet or the song we are currently learning with the chords.
