Elective session
Uke can do it!
This practical session will have you with ukulele in hand. Everything you need to know about how to play will be taught so that you can transfer these new skills straight to your class of eager students.
We will cover: parts of a ukulele, tuning, riffs, TAB (tablature, aka fingering) and chords.
There are many benefits for students learning ukulele in a classroom setting:
- Increased fine motor skills
- Development of aural awareness
- Composing from the instrument
- Performing favourite songs just like a popstar!
Your students will never tire of learning ukelele, and they are an affordable option for your classroom.
No prior ukulele experience necessary for this workshop. Just bring a great attitude because Uke can do it!
