This is an inclusive class and children of all abilities and disabilities are welcome. I have experience in a classroom as an Early Years and Primary Teacher with a variety of children. Please send me a quick message with details about your child's needs or diagnosis and I will do my best to accommodate them in my class! Each class will have the same structure: 1. We will sing a simple 'Hello Song'. 2. We will learn the new chords required for the song we are learning during that class. 3. We will practise the strumming technique for that specific song 4. We will learn the song, line by line, verse by verse. 5. Students can perform parts of the song should they choose to. Please check the enrolment page to see all the times and days I offer this class. >>> Songs WE WILL LEARN <<< ♪ 30.05.2022: "A Pizza Hut" ♪ 06.06.2022: "You Are My Sunshine" ♪ 13.06.2022: "Roar" - Katy Perry ♪ 20.06.2022: "B-I-N-G-O" ♪ 27.06.2022: "Thunder" - Imagine Dragons ♪ 04.07.2022: "She'll Be coming Round the Mountain" ♪ 11.07.2022: "Lava U" ♪ 18.07.2022: "Shake It Off" - Taylor Swift ♪ 25.07.2022: "Gummy Bear" ♪ 01.08.2022: "Baby Shark" ♪ 08.08.2022: "Moves Like Jagger" Maroon 5 ~ It is preferable if students have experience of playing the ukulele, simple strumming patterns and preferably, C Major and F Major chords, but not compulsory. Students will improve their musical abilities, in general, and will also learn: → how to play the ukulele, sing and strum at the same time; → how to hold a ukulele; → correct playing position; → proper hand position; → how to count and play chords → how to strum. Other skills children will learn in this class: → strum at different tempos (fast and slow) → strum with different dynamics: loud, quiet, from quiet to loud building momentum; → how to follow chord patterns (with animals and colours for children who can't read yet); → how to play multiple songs Please know that your child can jump in at any point to attend this class. It is a very flexible course, and they will benefit whenever they join! This class will meet the needs of each type of learner, that includes kinaesthetic, visual, and auditory. For best results in seeing success with learning new songs is practising the chord transitions during class and outside it.

Other Details
Supply List
→ 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

♪ My name is Bella and I have been a teacher for 20 years. I love teaching music, guitar and ukulele to young children because it gives them a way to FIND who they are, to EXPRESS their feelings, emotions and thoughts and to LET IT GO!
♪ I have found that young children love playing musical instruments, making up their own songs, creating rhythmic patterns and learning a new musical instrument through story-type lessons. I am building each new lesson on their interests and passion, aiming not only to teach them a skill, but to develop a life-long LOVE for music, to SING, CREATE and PLAY the songs from their hearts!Reviews
