Uke Can Do It Part 2: Group Ukulele Lessons for Young Beginners

A continuation of ukulele lessons for young students who are new to the instrument. Must have completed Uke Can Do It Part 1: Group Ukulele Lessons for Young Beginners to enroll. If your learner has studied the ukulele previously with a different teacher and you are interested in this course, please message me first to confirm that this is an appropriate level before enrolling.

Students will learn/review:
-How to hold the ukulele
-Playing position and rest position
-The parts of the ukulele
-How to strum
-Proper hand and finger position
-Simple chords
-How to switch from one chord to another
-How to recognize and play chord patterns on the ukulele
-How to play and sing popular children's songs such as "The Hokey Pokey", "The Wheels on the Bus", "Mary Had a Little Lamb", and "The Mulberry Bush".

The main focus of the Uke Can Do It Part 2 class will be developing the technique needed to switch from one chord to another successfully. The songs will progress in difficulty each week and learners will develop the skills needed to switch more frequently from chord to chord within each song. Learners will gain confidence in their ukulele playing skills throughout this course.

This will be an engaging class that will allow students' first experiences with the instrument to be fun, memorable, and frustration-free!

Students will get the opportunity play ukuleles together as a group for the majority of the class. They will also receive one-one-one assistance as needed and tips to help improve their technique. Students will be encouraged to sing along to songs that they will learn to play. 

Each lesson will include singing the Hello Song, playing a strumming warm-up, practicing chords and ukulele technique, learning and playing a new song on the ukulele, and singing the Goodbye Song.

A Google Slides presentation to practice and review the material learned during class and 4 play-along videos to practice and continue to get better at the songs we learn after our class are included. 

I encourage family members to assist their learners if needed, but to remain off-screen during this class per Outschool policy. Frequent modeling, clear directions, and repetition will be used during instruction to maximize students' success.
