Ukulele Beginner to Brilliant - Learn The Ukulele

The course starts with simple lessons that get you playing lots of songs. It progresses steadily to more advanced skills. You'll learn playing chords to accompany singing, strumming patterns and rhythms, playing melodies, reading simple sheet music, transcribing from what you hear in recordings onto paper, and playing all types of songs including folk, rock, country, blues, jazz, and more. Based on the book called Ukulele: Beginner To Brilliant by Doug Falconer (available on Amazon.com), our instructor, Stanley Sokolow, will guide our group of beginners and intermediate players toward achieving their musical potential while having fun. Bring your ukulele if you have one, or use one of our loaner ukuleles for your first session if you don't have 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 demonstrates the lessons. No book purchase is required. Following the 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. Please come sit in on a session and speak with Stanley prior to registering for the class.
