Ukulele from scratch is for the absolute beginner. We will review tuning, how to play basic chords, strumming, rhythm, dynamics, and how to read uke chord charts, with a focus on singing while playing. Every class will involve time to play together and learning uke jam etiquette. We will review the care of your instrument, changing strings, and finding resources. Once you have completed this class you will feel comfortable playing in a group setting, playing a whole song, including beginnings and endings.
You will need a ukulele and a tuner. Recommended: a strap and the book The Daily Ukulele. If you do not have any of these items let us know and we can help you purchase them.
