Do you want to learn to ukulele, but are unsure of where to start? In this fun and easy intro class, you will learn the basics of the ukulele aimed for younger students. This class is a perfect way for kids to explore ukulele for the first time. Instruction will be paced for younger kiddos and full of fun, music and joy. These classes are kept very small so all students get personalized attention! No experience in ukulele is required. This is a great way to build confidence before taking ukulele lesson! What will I learn in this class? 1. How to hold the ukulele. Believe it or not, this is super important for your wrists and arms! We will learn how to take care of our Ukuleles. 2. We will learn all the parts of the ukulele and play a fun memory game!! 3. Next, we will focus our playing hand vs. our strumming hand. Students will isolate each hand and sing songs that practice moving individual fingers! 4. How to strum your uke! Students will focus on strumming along to several fun songs!! We will begin strumming all strings at once and then try an extra challenge... can you strum each string!? 5. Depending on the age of the student, we will work on placing our fingers on the strings. Time permitting: Learn the C chord I can't wait to meet you!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome friends,
My name is Miss Katrina, and I love teaching at Outschool!! I am a creative arts educator with 8 years of public teaching experience. I love music, theater, art, and of course, teaching students of all ages!! Are you looking for individual instrumental lessons or small group music/art classes with an enthusiastic teacher? You are in the right place!!
During my lessons, my goal is to connect with each student and create a positive and fun learning experience. We will move and groove, sing and play, explore creativity, and make connections with other students near and far! No matter the age, I believe arts education can help students develop self-esteem, learn to cope with difficult situations and emotions, and increase achievement in all areas of their education.
My professional background in teaching started when I earned my Bachelors degree in Music Education from Eastern Michigan University and continued as I received extra teaching training from Arizona State University. I have taught in public elementary schools for the past 8 years and also taught music lessons for individuals or small groups. I studied woodwind instruments (flute, clarinet and saxophone) in University, but also love playing guitar, ukulele and piano. Finally, I have experience teaching arts and crafts camps through the city parks department!!
When I am not teaching, I spend time with my family and my cute, little dog Annie or go for a hike the Arizona desert and mountains. I even go rock climbing when the weather is nice!
I can't wait to meet you!!
