In this class students will explore all aspects and learn the foundations of Ukulele playing. Ukulele can be played as a melody instrument or chords to accompany others or themselves singing or playing melodies. We will learn how to read a chord chart and play our first songs with chords along with our string names and how to play them melodically. The second week we will add new chords and will talk about how to change from chord to chord using different strumming patterns. We will use PowerPoints, videos, an online book and games to explore different aspects of playing. Ukulele has become the newest craze in schools because it is such an easily assessable instrument to learn and to feel good about playing alone or with a group. It is also an amazingly fun instrument to learn as a second instrument as you can learn so much so quickly. It has also become accepted as a versatile instrument that can perform many genres. Learners will come away from this class knowing five chords and how to play them over lyrics and with videos along with 6 melodic notes.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
With the younger kids, parents may be needed at the beginning with finger placement. I will also explain what parents can do to help those who are more visual learners succeed more easily at home.
Supply List
An Ukulele that is able to be tuned is required. There are "toy" ukulele's out there that are untunable and therefore cannot hold a pitch. Please check reviews before purchasing an Uke. We will use an online method book you will have access to at home.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
