Happy New Year Sing n' Strummers!

I'm looking at running a group lesson for beginner ukulele out of my house beginning in February 2024.

I'm open to hearing what day would work for you. So far, I'm thinking Wednesday evenings. Is there a preferred time?

I'm thinking 5 to 5:45p.m.

It would $15 per student per lesson for a 45 min lesson. Groups of 5 students preferred.

Students will need to bring their own Ukulele.

Let me know and we can hopefully we can inspire some young musicians in 2024.

Booked one dayhome, and am open to more day homes or homeschool groups that would like music lessons!

I hope you have all settled into the back to school routine.

A couple of updates for Sing n' Strum:

1. I've booked my first pre-school music lesson with a local dayhome. I come with everything needed (activities, instruments, music, speaker etc.) All you have to do is book a day with me and I will teach age appropriate music lessons to your dayhome kids.

2. Homeschool music opportunity:
I can come to your home and teach group music lessons. This can be ukulele (students responsible for having their own ukulele) or a general music lesson. I can plan and create a lesson tailored to any topic of your choosing.

3. Group Ukulele Lessons:
I have had a lot of interest in this, but did not have enough Registrations to run the program. I would love feedback on what time/day works best for you, so we can make this class run!

Please msg me with any questions!

After posting about what choir will be like, I had some questions about what Ukulele will be like.

Students will learn several different chords, they will learn simple strumming patterns, how to read tabs, and switching between chords.

Here is what they will learn in their first lesson.
