Beginner Level
Interactive 1-1 style, filmed in live lesson format, feeling like you're having private tuition! Perfect for Ukulele beginners; all the fundamentals will be taught, meaning a student can progress with great skills pre/post Christmas! "I have designed this course with the idea of building up a students prowess to a standard they can develop the Ukulele further post Christmas. Correct fundamentals are tailored in a unique interactive teaching style that will also develop a student's ear so they can eventually here songs and play them back!" "This course will be designed as if you're having lessons with me in person; my style of teaching gets us playing solo and as a band, so you'll be ready to play in front of an audience, friends or family in no time!" "This goes hand in hand with a friend or family learning the ukulele as I teach 2 sections that work perfectly together, therefore the idea of playing Ukulele with friends or family will be more than ready to be achieved on completion!"
Learning Goals
Develop all areas of the Ukulele (and all instrument), via both melody and chord playing, tab reading AND arrangement!
Build up confidence each class, answering questions, calling out whilst playing (if wanting to) and playing alongside me, before mastering your own solo performances!
Syllabus
6 Lessons
over 6 WeeksLesson 1:
Let's Learn the 4 strings of our Ukulele and start playing!!
Using a catchy phrase, we will learn the 4 string of the Ukulele whilst playing a song using every string and implementing a chord!
19 mins of video lessons
Lesson 2:
Let's Learn our first Ukulele Chord and begin some Christmassy performing!!
After building up our picking hand, we will develop our other hand via learning our new chord, to be used in our Christmas song!
Lesson 3:
Let's learn our second chord and reveal our Christmas performance song!!
We will reveal our Christmas piece by ear (you'll have the skills to hear ukulele chords and songs by this point!), and start to look into reading Ukulele tab in an interactive way!
24 mins of video lessons
Lesson 4:
Lets continue our Christmas Performance Melody and learn our final chord!
After playing by ear, we will then analyse the tab and gain confidence in being able to follow ukulele music. Both skills of reading and hearing will be unlocked in this class! Alongside this, learning our trickiest chord to date; with my interactive way of preparing the chord, it will become effortless in no time!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music from Huddersfield University
I teach piano, guitar, bass and ukulele and have counted to over 10,000 hours of music lessons throughout my career.
Ukulele was the first instrument I taught in schools and has a very special place in my heart! It's portable, fun sounding and quick to learn, so beginners can pick up and play in no time, and I saw the students faces light up after just 1 class playing the Ukulele!
