Grab your sunglasses and a ukulele to enjoy some island tunes and traditions through this cultural Hawaiian journey! We will explore many songs made with just 2 or 3 chords and a few fun rhythms. We will explore Hawaiian culture, dancing, food, and a little language to bring the island to our classroom! No prior experience necessary. Great for beginners!

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.
