What's included
1 live meeting
45 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
This is a “first steps” course; no previous experience required. This class is designed to equip the ukulele learner with the tools necessary in order to begin making music. We will learn: - the purpose of each part of the instrument (body, fretboard, tuning keys, strings, etc) - how to tune the instrument • each learner will receive individual attention when learning to tune their ukulele - proper technique (how to hold the Uke, how to fret a note, holding the guitar pick) - we will take a look at a few easy songs so that your student can begin making music! :)
Learning Goals
The goal of this class is for every learner to have a ukulele that is tuned up and ready to rock by the end of the session. They will learn how to tune using a handful of different methods.
Learners will also be given a couple songs to practice. Hopefully, we will have enough time to play through both songs in class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Hope International University
I teach guitar, ukulele, beginning piano, and drums!
I’ve been teaching private lessons for the better part of ten years.
As a self taught musician - turned - instructor, I aim to present learning music as less of a task and more of a gateway into the world of art as a whole. Sure, I tried the beginners books and things of the like. But what really fanned the flame was learning a song that I already enjoyed by a band I already loved. I take the same approach in my teaching. I want to, as quickly as possible, have the learner playing songs they will enjoy.Reviews
