Ukulele 1 Camp (ages 14-18)

Students will meet once a week with the teacher on zoom, where they will review the previous weeks content, learn a new concept, chord, strum (rhythm), and/or song and practice with the aid of the teacher and peers. Students will be able to ask questions during the live session as well as online during the week.

Students homework will be to practice the concepts so that they are proficient before the next week's lessons. They will log their time practicing and have a weekly worksheet covering ukulele basics or simple music literacy concepts learned in class.
