In this six week beginner ukulele course we will pick up where we left off in the previous course, Ukulele Basics for Beginners I. (If your learner is brand new to playing the ukulele please check out the previous class first!) We will continue learning more chords and more songs, focusing on songs which are simple and which are generally well known. The basic outline for classes will be: Week 1: “Happy Birthday,” Week 2: “Old Macdonald Had a Farm,” Week 3: “She’ll Be Coming ’Round the Mountain When She Comes,” Week 4: “O Susannah.” Week 5: “If You’re Happy and You know It.” Week 6: “Twinkle Twinkle little Star.” This plan is approximate and will be adjusted depending on learner needs. At the start of each class, we will first take time to review any new songs or new chords taught in the previous class the week prior, before introducing any new material. Chord diagrams for any new chords being learned will be shown in class, and all songs will be posted in the chat box for learners to follow along with during class. All new material will be posted in the classroom following class for learners to continue to work on on their own during the week between classes.

I grew up on a farm in Tennessee (USA) and in addition to music I also love raising rabbits, pollinator gardening, and reading! I and my husband currently live with our five beautiful children in the state of North Carolina. I am excited to be part of the Outschool family!
Music has always been a big part of my life, starting with classical piano, which I began at age 8, taking private lessons from a professor at the University of Tennessee. Later on, in my teens, my interests shifted to strings and traditional Appalachian and Celtic music. I learned from many people, including bluegrass musician Justin Moses and as a student of Jim Wood at the Jim and Inge Wood School of Music. As a young adult, I worked as a volunteer interpreter at Cade’s Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, teaching park visitors about Appalachian music. I have played professionally for weddings and other events, in restaurant house bands, as well as at the Museum of Appalachia in Norris, TN. I have led traditional music demonstrations for public school classes, in addition to teaching privately for many years.
I am passionate about introducing young people to traditional Appalachian and Celtic music and helping them perfect their skills!
I primarily teach fiddle/violin and Appalachian old-time and Celtic music, but also bluegrass, Western swing and Texas contest-style fiddle. I also play guitar, both standard and Celtic (DADGAD), piano, mandolin, recorder, penny whistle, mountain dulcimer, ukulele and Irish bouzouki.
I see each learner as a unique individual and cater my teaching approach to best suit their needs and interests.Reviews
