Other Details

Learning Needs
🌟 This is an inclusive class. Children of all abilities and disabilities are welcome. Including ADHD, Autism, Emotional Learning Disabilities, & more. Contact us with any questions or concerns regarding your learner's needs!
Supply List
→ Learners will need a ukulele and a CAPO (Ukulele CAPO not a guitar CAPO).

→ Please make sure that students need to have a TUNED ukulele for each class. Please check the course's welcome message to see how you can tune the ukulele. 

→ Learners can use a pick, but it is not compulsory; I actually recommend the use of fingers for strumming/picking.

→ Please make sure you position the student, so I can see their BOTH hands when playing, ideally from the forehead to the waist, in a well-lit room. Ideally, the young learner can sit with their legs crossed on the floor, iPad/laptop on the floor at a slight angle pointing straight or downwards. Alternatively, the learner can sit on a chair, feet on the floor.

→ Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or concerns.

→ The teacher will provide the songs and other files (strumming and chord sheets);
→ Students will need a Ukulele (Soprano or Concert Standard tuning G  C  E  A).
