Children dream early and big, especially when it comes to playing an instrument like guitar! Ukulele is the perfect solution for the youngest learners on a string instrument, until their hands and bodies grow big enough for a guitar.
This class is for beginners or intermediate players.
The ukulele is a great first instrument for kids to learn. They are easy to learn, affordable the small size of the ukulele fits perfectly young children. The strings are easy to press down and to hold chords. There are four strings on a ukulele as opposed to six on a guitar, which suits them well for beginners!
Imagine your child strumming away on the uke, singing along, and reveling in the new accomplishment.
Now is truly a wonderful time to learn how to play the ukulele.
Group lessons meet for 40 minutes each week.
Group lessons cost two payments of $75 each. Ukulele is not included; recommendations will be made for purchase of a soprano ukulele or you may use one if you already have it. Average cost of a ukulele is around $50. NOTE: This class is for older beginners (ages 8 and up), or knowledge of Ukulele from a beginner session (Fall 2021). We will be reviewing basic chords, adding new chords, learning a new repertoire of songs and working on finger plucking songs. Intermediate Rainbow Ukulele curricula used.
