...tutoring style as individual focused. I believe that every person has the ability to learn what they would like to learn if they're given proper time, help, and resources.

At Dartmouth, taking a language course meant full immersion from day one. For the slightly bolder students like me, taking two different, intensive languages courses during the same time period meant constant brain hiccups at the most inopportune moments. Why could I only think of pinyin for the Chinese...

Ukulele Tutoring FAQ
The ukulele is an instrument that resembles a very small guitar, but it's actually part of the lute family. It generally has four strings, but sometimes strings are paired together, resulting in an instrument that has six or eight strings. It's an instrument you play by plucking the strings. Perhaps you're looking for ukulele tutoring because you're interested in learning a new instrument or because you have a general appreciation for music and you'd like to play this particular instrument better. Whatever your reasons, we'd be happy to help you at Varsity Tutors. We can help you locate an experienced ukulele tutor who can help you learn songs, get to know your instrument better, or even learn how to teach others.
Ukulele tutoring can provide you with a number of advantages, no matter how advanced you are. For beginners, a private tutor can explain the fundamentals and work towards ensuring the basics are learned properly. Once you have a solid and correct foundation, you can go a lot further with your playing. For intermediate students, a ukulele tutor can help you learn songs and play independently on the instrument. Advanced ukulele players can still benefit from tutoring. You'll be able to work closely with your tutor on perfecting what you already know and branching out into new areas, perhaps with other instruments to accompany you.
In ukulele tutoring, you can expect to cover some of these skills:
Understanding the instrument and how to keep it tuned and maintained.
Learning how to properly hold your ukulele.
Mastering the basic chords.
Becoming comfortable with the strumming of your ukulele strings.
Incorporating slapping and palming to create a unique sound with the strumming.
Practicing finger exercises.
Learning songs.
Listening to ukulele performances and discussing technique.
Not many people are born with natural talent when it comes to playing the ukulele. Like any other musical instrument, it takes practice and commitment. Working with a tutor can help you stay dedicated to the music and interested in learning more.
People choose instruments for all different reasons. Perhaps you want to find "ukulele tutoring near me" because the instrument originated in Hawaii, and you've always been an islander at heart. Perhaps you have already learned a number of other instruments, and you want to be able to play something different. We look forward to hearing what you love about the ukulele!
