Whether you've never held a guitar or ukulele or you're dusting off an old friend that's been sitting in your closet/garage for decades, Deborah will teach you the basics or fill in the gaps in your self-taught adventuring... plus specialty skills, depending upon what songs you want to learn.
Kids 8+ and adults of all ages can learn:
• String names and how to tune
• Chord shapes for A – G, including Major, minor, and 7 (+extras like maj7, sus4 or 2, no 3rd)
• Strum patterns and how to read them on various charts (+chucking)
• Picking patterns
• Healthy body mechanics to play without pain/injury
• How to play your favorite songs (even if they weren't recorded using uke)!
What you will not learn from Deborah:
• How to play a bar chord
• How to play tabulature (TABs), except for small sections of a song, like an intro or interlude (think opening of "Best Day of My Life"); I can read them and teach you how to read them.
• Electric guitar solos :-)
BENEFITS OF ZOOM LESSONS:
• All Lessons Are Recorded! That means I can send you the recording for use during the week or if you have to miss a week;
• No having to transport yourself, your child, or your instrument to my studio in Valley Village (save gas $$$)
• Evening lessons are available (put your child to bed and give yourself 30 min. of stress-relieving mental healthcare)
• Anywhere you are, you are welcome!
Song charts and video links are sent via text or email. During a lesson, I will occasionally share my screen, so computers are preferred for lessons, but phones/tablets can work, as well.
