Övrigt:

5. Fingerstyle Ukulele: an umbrella term for classes in reading tablature (and/or notation), using individual fingerst to pluck the strings (rather than only strum and use song sheets). Two kinds of classes: progressive & elective. Progressive classes provide the foundation you need for ELECTIVES. Complete beginners can start with Pick & Pluck. If you already know how to play the ukulele, take Tab & Pluck to learn melodic and harmonic fingerpicking. Once you've learned how to use each finger to create the best sound, take Pluck for a little bit of everything. After progressive classes, you can choose electives.

Pick & Pluck: complete beginners, learn to tune and use your individual fingers of left and right hands, read tablature

Tab & Pluck: not complete beginners, you already know how to strum and read and finger chord diagrams but not yet tablature (read it fast enough) and how to properly fingerpick to produce the best sound from your ukulele. https://www.anneku.com/2021/03/30/tab-pluck/.

Pluck: Once you've had your foundation course (either Pick & Pluck or Tab & Pluck), you are ready to explore the world of ukulele fingerpicking. Get a taste of different electives.

Riffs & Licks (elective): these are the recognizable motifs that are left out in song sheets. The instant you hear it in the intro, you expect to hear the song. Famous riffs in songs. Popular intros and outros.

Pluck & Strum: authentic replication of a song in its entirety, including intro riffs, rhythmic strum or pluck patterns, other accompaniments. https://www.anneku.com/2020/07/08/pluck-and-strum-authentic-replication/

Classical Uke: at least one piece from each era, early music (renaissance), Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern

Duets and ensemble playing: in-person

6. Music Theory answers WHY. It makes sense of the music you play and provides the foundation to understand what you do and eventually prepares you for song writing, composition, arrangement, etc. This is the class with least amount of playing but you do need an instrument as music involves both listening and playing. The first two times, music theory was offered for ukulele players. Since then, other instrumentalists have taken it. https://www.anneku.com/2020/11/19/music-theory-for-ukulele/

Intro to Music Theory: music literacy, scales, music intervals, inversions

Music Theory: Harmony - chords, chord families, inversions, circle of fifths, key signatures

Applied Music Theory - listening, analysis, discussion, examples include classical and more popular music

Music: Melody - analyze melodies, write melodies, find compatible chords (harmony)

7. Piano Class: in a small group in Zoom, the class is conducted like a master class where everyone learns the same piece, one at a time, and also gets exercises to improve different skills. One person plays and gets taught but everyone else benefits and learns. https://www.anneku.com/2016/05/26/what-youre-also-learning-when-you-take-a-piano-class/

I'm a complete beginner and want to learn go play.

I'm not a complete beginner but I'd like to take a group class with others at the same level as me.

I have a few people I'd like to take a class with.
