This course is for students who are new to learning to play the ukelele. In each class, we will practice playing, learn a song, and review topics related to instrument care and reading music. Over the four weeks of class, students will learn two chords that they will use to play four different songs. We will learn one new song each week in addition to reviewing songs from previous weeks.

Song for this class come from the repertoire of world folk music. Here is a sample of the songs that might be used in class:

Meeting 1: Train is A-Comin'
Meeting 2: Cluck Old Hen
Meeting 3: Waiting for the dinner bell
Meeting 4: Apples and Bananas

Class size is small to ensure that all students have ample opportunities to participate actively and interact with the teacher. Learning activities leverage young children's natural inclination to move and channel energy to support successfully playing. Simple games, songs, and chants will be used to help the students learn naturally and enjoyably.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PARENTS: Because it is a stringed instrument, the ukelele will need to be tuned for your child to have a successful experience. While your ukelele may have been in tune when shipped, most instruments require regular tuning. Many ukuleles now come with a digital tuner. If you have one - great! Follow the directions and you are set. If you do not have a digital tuner, you can visit a website. I have included links in the learner supply materials. This is a very handy page on which you can play the pitch for each string and then gently and gradually move the pegs until the sound matches. **For learners in this age range, I recommend that parents handle tuning instruments.** Instruction on tuning is not provided as a part of this class. A child may inadvertently turn a peg too far in enthusiasm and potentially break a string. Until your child has some experience, it is best if the parent tunes the instrument.

The ukelele is such a fun and accessible instrument. I can't wait to work with your child as they grow in their playing ability and love for music.

Metas de aprendizaje

Students who attend all four sections of class will: 
 - learn the names of the parts of the ukelele.
 - learn how to properly hold and care for the ukelele.
 - play multiple chords on the ukelele over the course of our meetings. 
 - accompany songs on the ukelele using one and two different chords.

Otros detalles

Lista de útiles escolares

a soprano or concert ukulele (23 inches or smaller)
a digital tuner (preferable) or parental access to GuitarTuna. GuitarTuna is great because, like a digital tuner, it listens to your ukelele and tells you whether a string is in tune when you play it. In order to do so, it will need access to your microphone (in order to "hear" your ukelele). A digital tuner is preferable, but GuitarTuna is a good substitute. All ukelele tuning should be done by the parent. It is not advisable to have a young child turning tuning pegs (which tighten and loosen strings) until they have guided experience with a teacher.
