💙💜💛 Welcome to Sing Create Play!! 🎄 Please note that this is not a class for total beginners. Students will need experience of playing C Major, F Major, A minor, G Major, D Major chords on the ukulele OR on the guitar. Please check out "My Little Uke Wants to Play All Day - Absolute Beginners Ukulele" class to learn the basics: https://outschool.com/classes/my-little-uke-wants-to-play-all-day-absolute-beginners-ukulele-LcuwHvwW#usuu5xarZy 🎄 Please note that we meet for 25 mins for 5 days in a row. Each day, we will review the basics of the guitar and ukulele and some basic chords (simplified or full version): C Major, F Major, A minor, G Major, D Major. 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. 🎄 Please note that this is not a class for total beginners. Students will need experience of playing C Major, F Major, A minor, G Major, D Major chords on the ukulele OR on the guitar. 🎄🎄 Bonus 🎄🎄 Students will also receive sheets with colour coded chords, so it makes it easy for them to practise in their own time and get ready for a little Christmas Eve concert. 🎄 Christmas songs that we will learn together: ❤️ Day 1: Rocking Around the Christmas Tree ❤️ Day 2: 12 Days of Christmas ❤️ Day 3: Feliz Navidad + Santa Claus is Coming to Town ❤️ Day 4: Deck the Halls + Frosty the Snowman ❤️ Day 5: Jingle Bell Rock 🎄 Please Note: 1. You will need a tuned guitar (or ukulele, depending on which instrument you are joining us to play) for this class. 2. We meet for 5 days in a row. 3. Although we, sometimes, will strive to learn 2 songs per class, it really depends on your ability, previous experience with the instrument and also the time you practise the chords switches outside the class. If you are a beginner, it is more likely that you will learn one song per class, which is awesome!
