Ukulele Beginners

Listening to and observing tutor demonstration and explanation. Singing and playing a variety of songs, learning different accompaniment styles. Playing melody together while others play the accompaniment. Playing arrangements. Sometimes on the day you will be asked to play something you have not done before. There will always be something simple you can do. You can choose to a certain extent the level of challenge you want to try. In order to ensure that you make the best possible progress on your course, you will have regular and detailed feedback from your tutor, in a constructive and supportive environment.

You may be asked to look at sheets of songs and TAB on a music stand so you will need to be able to read in those conditions. Please make us aware at the outset if you require additional support regarding your learning needs so we can do our best to accommodate.
