In this ongoing class you’ll keep your skills sharp with weekly practice. We will go over the chords for a song and talk through playing. Students will have the option to play for the class or lead a song if they would like to. All participation levels are welcome. In this class I will screen share chords so we can play along together. Songs will be simple and include things like: Riptide by Vance Joy Fireflies by Owl City We Are Gonna Be Friends by The White Stripes Hakuna Matata from The Lion King Students will be expected to already know basic chords. I will share how to make the chord shape and tips to switch to it. Students should know how to strum up and down on the uke and I will teach and review the strum pattern thoroughly during class. Schedule: This class is ongoing which means you can come every week, just come once, or pop in and out as you learn new things you want to share. The stage is yours when you want it

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome to my page! I am a professional actor and a summer camp counselor who teaches ukulele to kids of all ages. I also offer classes for audition prep, scene work, and bullet journaling!
I have worked as a counselor at camps around the United States for over eight years with kids of all ages physically and developmentally. I have experience working with groups as well as teaching one on one, and so here on Outschool I offer both small group classes and private lessons.
As an actor, director, writer, and producer, I have worked on murder mysteries, children's theater, short plays, musicals, and voice acting in video games, immersive theater, and podcasts.
I value an inclusive learning environment so no matter your identity or background--I want to make art together! Every student can learn a new skill, learning should be fun, and no questions are too silly.
Parents feel free to message me if you'd like me to schedule a session on a specific day or time! My inbox is always open!
FUN FACT: My favorite musical is Les Mis, so much so that my cat's name is Gavroche.Reviews
