Learn a new song each week in this ongoing advanced beginner ukulele club! Designed for young students who are at the advanced beginner level. Perfect level for learners who have completed my Uke Can Do It Part 1 & 2 classes. Learners should know how to hold the ukulele, perform a basic down strum and how to play the C, F and C7 chords before enrolling in this class. Each week we will sing a Hello song to welcome everyone to class, work on ukulele chords and technique, learn how to sing and play a new song on the ukulele, finish with a Goodbye song, and continue to develop our love of this fun instrument! Students will continue to practice the basics of ukulele playing such as how to hold the ukulele, playing position and rest position, parts of the ukulele, how to strum, proper hand/finger position and will review and learn new chords, how to count and play chord patterns/progressions on the ukulele and how to play and sing wide variety of songs including children's songs, folk songs, pop songs, seasonal songs and songs from well-known tv shows and movies. Join in to sing and play for as many weeks as you like! *Please note: This course is not recommended for learners outside of the age range and/or learners with no prior ukulele experience*
Learning Goals
Students will practice the basics of ukulele including how to hold the instrument, playing position and rest position, how to strum, proper hand and finger position, chords, how to count and play chord patterns, and how to play multiple popular children's songs. They will also improve their rhythm, counting skills, and pattern recognition.

I am a certified music educator with a M.A in Music & Music Education. I fell in love with the ukulele over a decade ago, and have been playing and teaching it ever since. I have been teaching group ukulele classes for 10 years. I also have taught private music lessons for 15 years. I love this instrument and specialize in teaching beginning instrumental music lessons to young beginners. The ukulele is a happy instrument, so my goal is to make learning the ukulele fun and frustration-free. Reviews
