Beginning Ukulele Classes

Stephy

Hello!

If you’ve been following my posts for a minute you might know that I teach the ukulele. I’m excited to share that I’ll be running two beginning ukulele courses through Lessonface – One for kids and one for adults 13+. They will be live on Tuesday afternoons (PST) starting March 15th.

These are designed for complete beginners, so if you’ve had an ukulele sitting around for a bit and haven’t been sure about how to start it, this would be a great starting place! I plan to share this through my YouTube channel (almost 30k subscribers now!) – so grab a spot while it’s available. 🙂

Check the links below for specifics on class content, times, and please feel free to ask if you have any questions. I also am available for 1:1 lessons through Lessonface.

“We’re Going to Be Friends” by The White Stripes

Stephy

In this easy, beginner-friendly ukulele tutorial we’ll be learning “We’re Going to Be Friends” by The White Stripes. This song is perfect for celebrating friendship, returning to school, singing with kids, singing with grown-ups, enjoying things…

This song is a great one for introducing the general blues form, and perhaps the music theory behind the Cadd9 chord.

“Can’t Help Falling In Love” for Ukulele

Stephy

This was a request – sometimes I get requests for songs that are done by soooo many people, but if you’re particularly drawn to my teaching style, and want to practice your fingerpicking and faster chord changes, this would be a good choice!

The video covers just chords for GCEA tuning, but I have song sheets for both GCEA and Baritone tunings. Both tunings use the C, em, am, F, G, B7, and dm chords.

“First Day of My Life” by Bright Eyes for GCEA and Baritone Ukulele

Stephy

I was a senior in high school when I first heard this song (2005) and it still makes me bawl when it hits just in the right way. My video play-along includes chords for standard and baritone ukulele tunings.

This song features the C, E, am, F, G, D7, G7, dm and fm chords, which are diagrammed on my corresponding song sheets.

“In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” in C for Ukulele (including Baritone)

Stephy

In this post we have a video and ukulele chord charts for “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” by Neutral Milk Hotel. This version is in the key of C, as opposed to its original key of G. I recommend trying both keys to see which one fits your voice the best! Even though I can sing in a low range, I felt like I could project a bit better in this higher key.

“In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” in G for Baritone Ukulele

Stephy

Emo millennials rejoice! Our anthem is here! We can now fully feel our sadness toward the state of the world today by channeling it through “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” by Neutral Milk Hotel.

In this post, I have a play-along video for both GCEA and DGBE ukulele tunings. As of right now, I only have a printable download for baritone ukulele. This version is in G, which is the original key. I will also have a version in C coming out, which is easier for my female vocal chords and may be easier for those playing a GCEA tuning.

I recorded this a bit fast, feel free to slow down the playback speed when you’re learning.

Helplessness Blues – Ukulele Song Sheet and Play-along

Stephy

This arrangement is in G, which worked better for baritone ukulele and for my female singing voice. Chords included are G, C, D, and a special little Csus4. I have song sheets for both GCEA and Baritone tunings available to download.

Play along with me here –

This song has been speaking to me a lot lately. I think this project, this content I create, the things I share so more people can partake in music making – that may be the “great machinery serving something beyond me.” Maybe this work is my orchard.

Are you having fun with the new ukulele you got for (your holiday here)? 😉

This New Year’s classic is fairly easy, using the C, am, dm, F, G7 and D7 chords. Utilizing my downloadable song sheet, you can explore the music theory/sound relationships between these chords that make them sound so right together.

Love my hair in this tutorial 😀
