UKULELE KIDS CAMP: LEVEL 1

Description

LEVEL 1: No experience necessary. Kids and youth learn the basics of the ukulele through fun, silly, and crazy camp songs from the included book, Two Chord Camp Songs for Kids written by the instructor. Youth will learn the four most common ukulele chords through songs that use chord pairs F & C7 as well as C & G7. In addition to a fun variety of strum patterns to accompany these songs, kids will learn to read music from the treble clef, play a C-scale, and tune their ukulele. You must bring your own ukulele. Parents of younger children are welcome to attend free. Instructor: M. Ryan Taylor.

Instructor M. Ryan Taylor: Composer/vocalist/multi-instrumentalist has written dozens of songs in popular, folk, broadway, choral, operatic and classical styles. He holds a Master of Music degree in music composition from BYU (see choirworks.com for his full works and bio), yet keeps a foot in the popular music pond most of the time by teaching, performing and songwriting with the ukulele (see ukuleleplay.com).

IMPORTANT: Please plan to bring a tuned-up ukulele and tuner to these classes. If you have questions on what ukulele/tuner to purchase or how to get your ukulele tuned-up before class, please feel free to contact the instructor at [email protected]
