Class Experience

Ready to learn ukulele? Uke can do it! Welcome to the FLEX version of our popular ukulele for beginners course. Learn the basics of the ukulele in five classes. Practice at your own pace on your schedule, but not completely on your own - I'm here to help you every step of the way! We strive to play and practice - no pressure, perfection, or previous musical experience required. Class description and song lists are provided below. 

WEEKLY LESSON PLANS: 
Week 1: Learn the anatomy of the ukulele, string numbers, and note names. We will also start an introduction to our color coding method, chord charts, frets, and practice the C chord. 
Week 2: Learn the C7 and F chord, relationships between chords, and chord transitions. 
Week 3: Review C, C7, and F chords, and practice two new songs with increasing difficulty. We will also learn how to add a new strumming pattern. 
Week 4: Introduction to TWO new strumming patterns and the G chord. This week can be challenging, but you'll do great! 
Week 5: Review C, C7, F, and G chords. We learn our final two chords, G7 and Am, and add two songs to finish class!

LEARNER INTERACTION AND ASSIGNMENTS: 
Learner interaction is welcome and expected! Learners will be required to upload a video submission each week and teacher will provide feedback on each video with positive encouragement and suggestions for improvement. 

Students will be expected to post weekly assignment videos. I will provide feedback following each video submission. Although this is a FLEX course, I will be available by messaging to assist throughout the entirety of the course. It is highly encouraged to learn at your own pace and watch the videos as frequently as needed! Chord charts, song sheets, and visual aides will be provided each week. 

I strongly believe in positive feedback and unwavering support when learning something new. Parents and guardians: I encourage you to cheer on your learner as they work hard to develop these new skills!

At the conclusion of this class, students will be able to: 
- Identify instrument anatomy
