Class Experience

Got an itch to learn the ukulele?  This class is for you!  Through this jam packed 6 week class, students will learn uke basics such as chords, fingering picking, and even a little singing(which is completely optional for your learner).   Class will begin with a review of previous knowledge of the ukulele(but don't worry, no previous knowledge is needed) and then we will learn our focus concept of the day.  We will practice our new fond ukulele knowledge together by playing along with a recording.  We will end class with a chance for everyone to share something they learned that day and for learners to ask questions.

Between each class, learners will be expected to submit short videos of themselves playing so the teacher can give feedback to help them become ukulele rockstars.  The videos can be submitted via the Outschool classroom. By the end of the course, students will be able to play and sing two songs on the ukulele as well as read music.

Here is the list of concept for each week:
Week One:  Parts of the Ukulele, quarter notes and quarter rests, finger picking on the open strings
Week Two:  C major, F major, and A minor, learn how to read a chord chart
Week Three:  Staff and treble clef, A and G major chords
Week Four:  Read a lead shet
Week Five:  High C, D, and F, learn the C major scale pattern, learn 6 strumming patterns
Week Six:  Learn two songs in C Major
Learning Goals
Students will learn:
*Basic chords on the ukulele
*Strumming and finger pick patterns
*Parts of the ukulele
*Notes on the treble staff
*How to read a lead sheet and chord chart

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi everyone!  We are so excited to have Wonderworks Learning and Arts Center join the Outschool community!  Wonderworks is located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, about 30 minutes away from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  Starting in 2012, we began with a vision of bringing high quality music classes to kids in our very rural area who had very little opportunities for music classes.  In 2019, we added art and tutoring to our listings and have loved seeing our business grow!
Our teachers come from a wide variety of jobs and educational backgrounds, but one thing is required to be a teacher at Wonderworks:  a love for their art form and a love of working with kids!  Our teachers work to inspire the children they teach by meeting them where they are.  No one is ever turned away from our Wonderworks community.
We believe that every human being has the capability to learn and achieve success in their learning, regardless of their individual needs when they start.  Every single student that becomes apart of our community is welcomed with open arms and we will work with them to meet their individual needs.  
Wonderworks is a fun, laughter filled place.  We love to have fun, be silly, and make learning exciting.  We can't wait to see you in class!
