With this beginner ukulele virtual class, you'll learn to strum away confidently in less than an hour! So, if you're looking for some productive but fun things to do at home, come and join me for a fun and musically-inspired class, where you'll learn just how easy it is to play ukulele!
During this online class, you will get to grips with everything you need to know about playing the ukulele. From learning ukulele chords for beginners, strum patterns (and even some flamenco!) to playing a full song - you'll learn it all, including fingerpicking, melodies, soloing and improvising as well. Plus, you can even sing-along (if you want to!).
You will also learn how to read TAB music, chord charts and play the C Major scale. Once we've got the basics covered, my ‘forte’ is discovering and bringing out your personal ukulele style.
Any ukulele is fine for the class, and I will also show you a variety of ukulele shapes and sizes and suggest the right size for you.
At the end of this musical virtual experience, you'll be able to confidently play all the basic ukulele chords for beginners and can continue your ukulele journey by practising your newfound skills!
You'll also receive a booklet of everything covered in the virtual class for you to study and practise at home - so there's no need to take notes during the session - just relax, enjoy learning something new and have fun!
*Note: Please message me to arrange a private class for the same price, anytime that is best for you!
