Courses
As a private music teacher, I specialize in offering beginner ukulele and guitar lessons that are both exciting and engaging. My lessons are designed to inspire your child and foster a life-long love for learning music. With a focus on creativity and fun, I ensure that each session is a rewarding experience. Let's embark on this musical journey together!
Take a look at the different courses I offer below and contact me when you're ready to start your child's musical journey!
These courses are designed to build on previous courses in order. Following the track offered, starting with the Beginner I Ukulele course, students will learn ukulele and music basics. In the Special Transition course, students will transfer their skills and knowledge to the baritone ukulele (which has the same strings as the top 4 strings on the guitar). From the Transition course, students can take Guitar Foundations, using the techniques they learned in the Ukulele and Transition Courses to begin learning guitar.
Guitar Foundations can also be taken without the Ukulele courses.
