Are you new to the Ukulele? Do you have a little experience playing and are still building core foundational skills like learning the string names and numbers, how to tune with an electronic tuner, and the musical note names and rhythm’s? In this class you will learn some sweet simple single string melodies and riffs, how to read and play a song using Tablature, how to read a chord grid, and learn a handful of chords so you can strum some of your favorite songs. Students can expect to spend, on average, up to four terms in a Roots level class before moving on to the more intermediate Rockers level.

Have you been playing the ukulele for a bit and can play a few simple songs and chords? Do you know how to tune, how to read tablature, and can play in rhythm with other uke-sters?   Do you regularly use more than one finger on the neck of the instrument? This class will help you master the foundational skills you learned in Ukulele Roots. We’ll smooth out the transitions between strumming chords, learn some more strum patterns, learn about the pentatonic and major scale, learn more chords, read chord charts, learn position based riffs, introduce the musical staff and standard notation, and strengthen your ability to play along with others. Students can expect, on average, to spend several terms at the Rockers level, often a full year as they grow and develop their musical strength and confidence.

Prerequisite: Demonstrate Ukulele Roots Benchmarks &/or Instructor Recommendation
