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 AND VOICE, ALL GRADES**

Course Prerequisite: Total Beginner Uke

To enroll in this class, please be able to tune your ukulele, play OFF/ON chord positions in Open C, and be comfortable playing our SmartStart Open C chord, the F Note, and be familiar with the G7 chord.

If you are someone who has never studied with our organization before, but you play a little bit of ukulele in standard tuning, you are still welcome. But there is preparation for you to do. We can send you information ahead of time on how to tune your uke to Open C (just one note different on one string), and play our beginning chords. These are easy. Please write to jess@guitarsintheclassroom.org to let her know if this is your situation and she will help you. Thank you.

This course is a natural next step for people who took Total Beginner and want more practice with the basics before progressing to standard tuning. We will review what you learned in Total Beginner, and take you farther. You will get faster at chord changes, add some new strums, and you’ll add the Am chord to your repertoire. If the group progresses together quickly, we can begin to explore standard tuning.

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 a second time. We don’t mind!
