Conducted in small groups (i.e. 6-8 persons), the 1.5 hr per week sessions include: INTRODUCTION to the ukulele and its role, essential RHYTHM fundamentals, CHORD theory and formations, SONG APPLICATION with your favorite praise & worship songs.
I received Guitar lessons previously. Is it still applicable in this course?
Yes, your experience playing the Guitar is applicable because you have learnt to listen to yourself as you play and follow general timing as you play with strumming rhythms. Here, you will learn how to handle the smaller instrument(Ukulele) and add greater variety to strumming styles. You will be able to decide the most appropriate rhythm to use as well as play the song in more than one fashion. The course also challenges you to form creative chord variations for your songs.
Do I have to bring my Ukulele around? Is it convenient?
All Training Rooms are fully equipped with practice guitars. Our Training Centres are conveniently located at International Plaza - Flagship (beside Tanjong Pagar MRT station), One Commonwealth (beside Commonwealth MRT station), and Tampines Plaza (beside Tampines MRT station).
Is it FUN?
You'll get to meet people who share the same passion. Learning to play a musical instrument is highly rewarding. Learning to play the Ukulele is more than fun. It's life changing. With practice, this skill will stay and enrich not only your lives but also the lives of people and family around you (and generations to come).
