Guitars in the Classroom

Learning music is not a race
We each learn at our own pace
Register for what feels best
Cuz music keeps the learning fresh!

CONTINUING BEGINNER UKULELE: 8 SESSONS IN PERSON WITH GINGERLILY LOWE

Course Prerequisite: Total Beginner Ukulele

To enroll in this course, please be able to tune your ukulele, play OFF/ON chord positions in Open C, and be developing the ability to play Open C, Easy F and Easy G (G7) chords. This course is a natural next step for people who want more time practicing Strum & Sing basics before adding more chords and strums in Open C tuning. It’s a way to get better at what you learned in Total Beginner, and to go farther.

The first two classes of this course will be a review to refresh the skills you learned in your Total Beginner course. By the third class you will start to learn more chord changes, strums, and you’ll add the Am chord to your repertoire. You’ll learn practical songs for your classroom teaching, utilize primary GITC song leadership techniques, and compose some simple Lyrics for Learning using familiar melodies. You’ll also get a chance to collaborate with other teachers to create songs for boosting student creativity, literacy skills, memory, and social-emotional awareness.

For anyone needing more review, we recommend taking Total Beginner Uke a second time, online. We don’t mind!
