Class Experience

Beginner Level
In this ongoing class we will be learning about the ukulele, how to hold it, how to tune, how to strum, the order of strings and how to play chords C, F, A minor, G7. We will learn a variety of songs from simple nursery rhymes to popular songs heard on the radio. We will also practice moving from one chord to another. Watch your student grow as a musician in the fun beginner course. 

This course is ongoing. The instructor will always be reviewing. Students do not need experience. 

In each session students will be learning and reviewing: tuning, names of strings, note names, strumming to beat, hand placement, chords and playing songs.

This class will be taught through a series of picture guides, slide shows and videos. The teacher will provide both group feedback and individual feedback. This class is meant to be fun, exploratory, and a laid back experience for young students learning how to play an instrument. 

The schedule for content is flexible and is determined by the mastery and progress of students. Students can ask questions during class or anytime after. I am here to help your student enjoy playing the Ukulele

Occasional homework such as practicing chords and songs will be suggested to advance student skills. 

** Parental guidance may be needed for tuning the instrument before or during class along with helping students initially place fingers in the correct spot on the instrument**
