Ukulele classes are a fun, social introduction or continuation of your musical journey. We will learn strumming and chords alongside some musical know-how, so we can play today's popular songs!
FOR SUMMER, the studio is on flex lessons -- you will be mixed in with ukulele and piano students of varying skill-levels!

Pre-K/K Ukulele Classes: Uke + Me
Three to four preschoolers/kindergartners and their adults will gather weekly for 45min (30min if 2 students) to learn four chords, some strumming, and singing to some of our favorite nursery rhymes and kids' songs. Children and their adults work on the same instrument unit the younger is comfortable/ready to try everything on their own. The accompanying adult does not need to be the same each week, but some consistency is important so that the adults know what is happening in class.
Kids & Juniors Ukulele Classes: students will join our multi-instrument lab classes!
In their first couple months, students will learn ~8 chords, a couple basic strumming patterns, and the melody & words to some of their favorite songs. Students learn several traditional songs in preparation for movie hits like "How Far I’ll Go" from Moana and "Let It Go" from Frozen along with some other requests, such as “One Call Away” and “Never Enough” from The Greatest Showman. 
Since we generally do not have enough ukulele students with the same schedule, our ukulele friends get to join our piano lab classes, which mean they learn multi-instrument
duets, not just "ukulele band" style!
HS Teen & Adult Ukulele Classes (9th-12th grade; 18+): Schedule TBD
Busy teen and adult schedules can handle for learning and practicing a new instrument - we tested it!
Already play an instrument? Chrissy developed a special lesson series just for the active musician—learn up to 12 chords and several strumming patterns, so you can play old and new favorites, learn some songs for friends, the kids or grandkids, and break out the tunes while camping!
New to music or haven’t played in years? Novice adult musicians will learn 6-8 chords, strumming patterns, and be able to play some faves and stuff for the grand/kids. We use the same curriculum as the active musicians, but at a slower pace so we can learn/review the musical nuts and bolts we need.
Teen & Adult classes are often combined due to scheduling or similar interests and goals for class.
Wanna try it out first? We hope to have Sip & Strum at Little Thistle again sometime!
