Introduction to Ukulele, 4th - 8th with Matthew
Description
Introduction to Ukulele, 4th - 8th grade, Tuesdays, 3:30 - 4:30 PM

This club will start on Tuesday, January 20th and will end on Tuesday, March 17th.

Ukulele is a great choice for kids who want to try their hand at playing an instrument. The ukuleles' 4 nylon strings make it very approachable for beginners. Its smaller size makes it a comfortable and affordable choice as a first instrument.

In our introductory class, we will learn basic chords, strumming patterns and music theory which will allow us to jump right into learning songs we all love. Our approach will be geared towards learning popular music forms, as opposed to a more formal written notation system.

Ukulele is also a great springboard instrument for those who might be interested in guitar, mandolin and other fretted string instruments.

Students will be asked to bring their own instrument, but Matthew can happily provide recommendations for suitable instruments under $50.
Please reach out to Matthew with any questions to mjpendrick@gmail.com

Students are collected from Extended Day (Aftercare) by club instructors and then brought back to Extended Day when the club is over. Parents/Caregivers pick their children up from the gym.

Extended Day is included in the club price before the club begins. You will be charged for Extended Day if you do not promptly pick your child up when the club ends or if your child remains until 6:00 pm. There is a five minute grace period after which you will be charged for Extended Day. The fee for a late pick up or a child remaining in Extended Day is half the price of Extended Day.

Please note that clubs are non-refundable. Late registration requests are not guaranteed. Please email Miriam with late registration requests (marensberg@friendsschoolatlanta.org) after registration has closed.

Switching clubs is also not guaranteed. It is important that you register before the deadline for instructors to plan for the number of students registered, rosters to be formed, and club spaces to be assigned. Students may not switch clubs after the 2nd class.

Club Instructors do their best to get a substitute when they cannot attend their club. However, there are times when an instructor must cancel. You will be notified as soon as possible if a club cancels and a rescheduled time will be planned.
