Ukulele Learning Circle

This class emphasizes the enjoyment of learning the ukulele while sharing songs in a group setting. Students will perform a song they pick each week, then receive encouragement and constructive feedback from the teacher and classmates.  This continues around "the circle" alternating between group and individual activities until all the students have had a chance to share.

New ukulele skills include chord shapes, rhythm, performance, strumming and picking techniques, the power of positive feedback, how to handle making a mistake and how to play though it, how to match vocal pitch with the chords, and how to overcome challenges and disappointments through effective practice habits. 

I am very patient and energetic. I teach in a kind and supportive way, stressing the enjoyment of learning while building discipline and character in my students. 

Beginners to advanced players are all welcome as they use their individual class time to work on songs at the level they are currently at.  Beginners learn the basics of the ukulele over the first few weeks and graduate quickly into learning the songs they want to play!   Session topics will be learner-directed as students choose the songs they want to play. Any challenges and instruction that arise are based on the song choice.
