Hello learners and adults!

I’m so excited to start this new ongoing ukulele class with you!

This class is designed for young beginners on ukulele, however, if your learner is brand new on their instrument it’s recommended that they take at least one 1-1 lesson first, but it’s not required. They do need to have their instrument tuned up properly before each class (standard GCEA) as this is not something we will be able to cover during class!

We will be learning one super simple (and super fun!) song each week. The material for each class includes the lyrics and chords of each song, and diagrams the chords used in the song (2 chords per song) as well as a recording or YouTube link of the song, so learners can familiarize themselves with it ahead of time and play along with it for practice.  There is also a bonus coloring page included with each song! 
The material for each class will be posted in the classroom a week prior to class. 

This class is on a 12 week rotation.

The songs in order are:
A Tisket a Tasket 
Farmer in the Dell 
On the Bridge of Avignon 
Apples and Bananas 
Buffalo Gals 
London Bridge is Falling Down 
The More We Get Together 
Six Little Ducks 
Mary had a Little Lamb 
Wheels on the Bus 
Down in the Valley 
Rain Rain Go Away

Hello parents and learners!  

***If you are new to Outschool please take advantage of coupon code RebeccaSMu20 to receive $20 off your first class on the platform!

I grew up on a farm in Tennessee (USA) and in addition to music I also love raising rabbits, pollinator gardening, and reading!  I and my husband currently live with our five beautiful children in the state of North Carolina.  I am excited to be part of the Outschool family!

Music has always been a big part of my life, starting with classical piano, which I began at age 8, taking private lessons from a professor at the University of Tennessee.  Later on, in my teens, my interests shifted to strings and traditional Appalachian and Celtic music.  I learned from many people, including bluegrass musician Justin Moses and as a student of Jim Wood at the Jim and Inge Wood School of Music.  As a young adult, I worked as a volunteer interpreter at Cade’s Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, teaching park visitors about Appalachian music.  I have played professionally for weddings and other events, in restaurant house bands, as well as at the Museum of Appalachia in Norris, TN.  I have led traditional music demonstrations for public school classes, in addition to teaching privately for many years.
I am passionate about introducing young people to traditional Appalachian and Celtic music and helping them perfect their skills!
I primarily teach fiddle/violin and Appalachian old-time and Celtic music, but also bluegrass, Western swing and Texas contest-style fiddle.  I also play guitar, both standard and Celtic (DADGAD), piano, mandolin, recorder, penny whistle, mountain dulcimer, ukulele and Irish bouzouki.  

I see each learner as a unique individual and cater my teaching approach to best suit their needs and interests.
