This class is taught in English.
Students will review the fundamentals of ukulele including how to hold the instrument, ukulele playing position and rest position, how to strum, proper hand and finger position, chords, and how to count and play chord patterns. Learners will build upon their ukulele technique and skills by learning how to play and sing a new song each week. 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.
