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!*

Beginner Plus Uke in English with Spanish Support in Open Tuning

Course Prerequisite: Total Beginner Uke

4 Sessions

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. To enroll in this class, 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 not just a review or refresh of Total Beginner. It will give you more chord changes and strums. 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. We don’t mind!

All classes in this series will be taught from 4-5pm PT / 5-6pm MT / 6-7pm CT / 7-8pm ET.
