Ukulele
We are excited to now offer Ukulele lessons. The ukulele is a fun instrument for everyone to learn.
Currently I have options for Private Lessons using the Music for Kiddos and Rainbow Ukulele curriculums.
Coming soon, I will have Let's Say Aloha group ukulele camps available with a fun and interactive curriculum.
What is Let's Say Aloha?
It’s basically a five-lesson "launch" module that is designed to give kids a great start on their ukuleles. Kids learn to fret, strum, fingerpick, read chord diagrams and lead sheets, and lots more. The lessons use songs, games, and activities to teach every concept.
What age group does this curriculum target?
Teachers use and reuse the Let's Say Aloha teacher kit in several different ways:
-
Kids ages 8-11 do great in either a five-day summer camp or a five-week, weekly class.
-
Kids ages 6-8 need a little more time between lessons for their tender fingers, so a weekly class is recommended for that age group.
-
One format that has been really popular in my studio is the Mommy-n-Me class for kids ages 6-8 and a parent. All the moms want to learn ukulele too, so it’s easy to recruit for and lots of fun to teach!
How long is each lesson?
Each Let's Say Aloha class lasts 50-60 minutes.
Students who have musical experience (such as on the piano) will do great with a 50-minute class. Young students or students who are brand new musicians will need an extra 5-10 minutes to address fundamentals such as holding and strumming the ukulele.
