Ukalaliens I (Beginners) 5:30 - 6:15PM ($10 per Session/$40 per Month)
Ukalaliens® I
Level 1
Imagine, you are an alien from another planet; you've just landed on earth and you'd love to participate in the ukulele festivities, but you don't own a ukulele; and even if you did, you don't know which end is up or where to pluck........Throw away your fears and anxieties and attend the "Ukalaliens I" class. We loan you a beautiful sounding, pre tuned and easy to play uke, teach you a wee bit of history, what a fret is, the tuning, 3 or 4 simple chords, up and down strums, AND we sing and play 4-6 fun and easy (mostly familiar + 1 new one) songs. And in between all the learning spots, we laugh alot. So, this is a class for, "I don't know nuttin'" absolute beginners.
Learn to play ukulele and sing songs through an easy method that gets people playing and singing in minutes. Created to help people learn how to begin playing uke and to sing with others. Absolute beginners learn about the ukulele, tuning and how to strum, pick and sing along following song charts and fun, stress-free instruction by Steve & Kate. Handout included. Loaner ukes available for use in class (24). Level 1 - Absolute Beginners. 45 minutes.

Ukalaliens II (Advanced Beginners) 6:30 - 8 ($25 per Session/$100 per Month)
Ukalaliens® II
Level 2
Imagine, you've just attended the "Ukalaliens I" class (or you've played a little and you're ready to expand your ukulele horizons..........) You're feeling a little more confident, you're thinking this is kind of fun, I love the sound of the uke, and I look so cool holding this cute little guitar like thing......I want to see what else these two uke nuts can show me. In "U II" we show you how to do some fingerpicking, a few more chords including at least 1 minor chord; we'll demonstrate and work on some embellishments like hammer on, pull off, slide, mute, and flexible rhythms. Depending on the level of proficiency and size of class, we will explore jug band (I,VI, II, V), waltz tempo, old rock, folk and African songs. Singing is a fun aspect of our class, so plan on opening your mouth and making some sweet sounds to accompany your uke playing. (we will also teach you some handy vocal warmups)
For advanced beginners who are comfortable with first position chords and feel ready to move beyond the first steps into more syncopated strums and picking patterns. This workshop uses the Ukalaliens method, the number system and friendly dynamics to bring students into the next level to enhance playing, transposing songs and to help grow the students' skills with both left and right hands. We include elements of arranging and cheap (fun) theatrics to optimize dynamics for maximum enjoyment. Level II - Advanced Beginners. 90 minutes.
