Music Class for Beginners: Play Surf on Your Ukulele! (Ages 8+)
In this 4 session self-paced music class, beginning ukulele students will learn to play the popular song "Surf"!
Course Summary
This 4 session class includes four videos approximately 20 minutes long. Students will receive chords for each section and a complete 1 page sheet for "Surf". No prior knowledge is required, but the students need to already have their ukuleles tuned to the notes G, C, E and A. I have taught this song to dozens of students! It is a perfect "first song" to play on the ukulele because it easy to play but sounds very impressive, especially when played fast.
Course Curriculum
Ms. April is an excellent teacher! Highly recommend her classes! She makes learning so easy and gives excellent feedback!
I like the flexibility of the class. The material was helpful and easy to understand. Ms. April was fun and taught the class well. I recommend this class for a beginner in learning the ukulele.
The teacher did a good job of breaking down the concepts. There was a sensible progression (and added difficulty) each week, and it did take 4 weeks to learn all the concepts to play the whole song. A flex class was a good option for a beginner. My son was able to stop and replay the lessons while we practiced to work on the technique. He also really enjoyed the short one-on-one live session with teacher.
