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!

Total Beginner Uke for ECE in Open Tuning

Course Prerequisite: None

6 Sessions

Learn music basics for singing, strumming rhythms, accompanying songs on ukulele and leading hands-on singing, songwriting and strumming with your students. This class is for teachers, paras and specialists with little to no musical experience, or no experience playing a ukulele. We teach in Open C tuning for ease and accessibility of playing, and we go slowly, and help you develop essential musical awareness and skills. You will learn to sing, strum and play easy songs for learning with three chords in our special Open Tuning on ukulele. This course does not cover guitar.

Note: If you already play guitar or ukulele in standard tuning, this course can be immensely helpful in learning to teach the instrument to children. You’ll learn a developmental approach to successful instruction, even with children in early childhood education.

All classes in this series will be taught from 10-11am PT / 11am -12pm MT / 12-1pm CT / 1-2pm ET.
