Students will learn:

This will be an engaging class that will allow students' first experiences with the ukulele to be fun, memorable, and frustration-free! 

Students will get the opportunity play ukuleles together as a group for the majority of the class. They will also receive one-one-one assistance as needed and tips to help improve their technique. Students will be encouraged to sing along to songs that they will learn to play. Each lesson will include singing the Hello Song, playing a strumming warm-up, practicing a chord and ukulele technique, learning and playing a new song on the ukulele, and singing the Goodbye Song.We will celebrate learners' hard work by playing all of the songs that we have learned at the end of our final class. Learners will gain confidence in their ukulele playing skills throughout this course.

A Google Slides presentation to practice and review the material learned during class and 4 play-along videos to practice and continue to get better at the songs we learn after our class are included.
