UKULELE LESSONS

We can start at the beginning with basic music reading and learning chords, or if you already play, we can dive in with more advanced techniques. We can work on reading tablature, playing chords, and learning fun songs in lots of different genres!

SING AND STRUM UKULELE LESSONS

If you are interested in learning to accompany your singing with a fun and portable instrument, the ukulele is a great choice for singers age 10 through adult. I work on singing skills plus the basics of ukulele all during the same lesson. It is important to maintain a healthy vocal technique, and there are special issues that come up while playing another instrument. I focus on maintaining proper posture and breath support, while working on resonance, diction, phrasing, and interpretation. Depending on your experience, I start with simple chords and strums so that you can start playing while you sing right away. I also teach note reading, ukulele tab, and ukulele technique. Ukulele works well for accompanying folk, pop, Tin Pan Ally, and standards but can work for almost any song style. Once you get the basics we can explore your favorite repertoire.

This is a great lesson to do with a friend, since you can take turns accompanying one another and performing for one another. Students are encouraged to participate in recitals throughout the year.
