Introduction to ukulele in a fun and pressure-free environment!

In my lessons we will:
-Familiarize ourselves with the neck of the ukulele.
-Learn major and minor chords
-Learn major, minor, and blues scales
-Learn songs suited to each student's individual playing levels
-Learn effective practicing techniques
-Build a repertoire of increasing level as students progress over time
-Build improvisation skills
-Have fun exploring the vast world of sound and music!

Music lessons are a space to learn and experience meaningful connections amongst individuals through discussing musical material as a means of expression and thoughtfulness. In the individual lessons we discuss possibilities of thinking about sounds and ways of bringing sounds to life in different ways.

Violin lessons are in particular a great way of exploring the connectedness of the thought, feelings, and body through learning the instrument as well as reading music. In each lesson, we discuss ways of developing a better understanding of this connection using different methods; the methods used for each student can vary according to their needs. As a result, students will be able to play different music on the violin and improvise on the instrument.

In music theory, ear training, and composition lessons we delve into the basics of music theory in Western Classical tradition, the history of it, and look at some examples as well as practical exercises for a better understanding of the material. Through the process of learning, we will explore different ways of implementing different theoretical aspects of the sound in creative practice.
