The course starts with simple lessons that get you playing lots of songs. It progresses steadily to more advanced sk ills. You'll learn playing chords to accompany singing\, strumming pattern s and rhythms\, playing melodies\, reading simple sheet music\, transcribi ng from what you hear in recordings onto paper\, and playing all types of songs including folk\, rock\, country\, blues\, jazz\, and more. \; Ba sed on the book called Ukulele: Beginner To Brilliant by Doug Falconer (av ailable on Amazon.com)\, our instructor\, Stanley Sokolow\, will guide our group of beginners and intermediate players toward achieving their musica l potential while having fun.
\nBring your ukulele if you have one\, or use one of our loaner ukuleles for your first session if you don't hav e your own. Stanley will give advice on what to buy if you are looking to purchase a ukulele. There is also a YouTube channel where Doug Falconer de monstrates the lessons. No book purchase is required.
\nFollowing th e hour long class will be a 45 minute "club"/jam session. You do not need to be a class participant to join in for the jam sessions.
