Various times Monday-Thursday on Outschool

Small-group ukulele lessons for young students who are new to the instrument. No prior ukulele or music experience is needed.

Students will learn:

-How to hold the ukulele

-Ukulele playing position and rest position

-The parts of the ukulele

-How to strum

-Proper hand and finger position

-Simple chords

-How to count and play chord patterns on the ukulele

-How to play and sing popular children's songs such as "Row, Row, Row Your Boat", a song to the tune of "Are You Sleeping", "The Farmer in the Dell", and "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"

This will be an engaging camp 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 the songs that they will learn to play. 

Each lesson will include singing the Hello Song, playing a strumming warmup, 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 4 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 camp are included. 

I encourage family members to assist their learners if needed, but to remain off-screen during this class per Outschool policy. Frequent modeling, clear directions, and repetition will be used during instruction to maximize students' success.
