    Fundamentals of Song-based Ukulele: An Interest-driven Beginner-friendly Class

    Welcome to our ukulele class! In this course, we will be learning how to play the ukulele and exploring the vast world of music. We will start by covering the basics such as understanding chords and finger placement. We will then progress to more advanced techniques, including strumming patterns and soloing. Throughout the course, we will explore a variety of musical genres from pop music to classics. You will have the opportunity to play your favourite songs as well as discover new pieces that you may have never heard before. Our approach is structured yet fun. The theory will be broken down in an easy-to-understand way so that even those who do not have any prior knowledge in music can follow along with ease. This class encourages creativity and allows students to express themselves through their music. This course is perfect for beginners who are eager to learn a new skill or those who wish to improve on existing abilities. Our teachers are passionate about music and are committed to providing an engaging and fulfilling learning experience for all students. Join us for an exciting journey into the world of ukulele playing – where theory meets fun!

    About Kenton D.

    Hi, there! My name is Kenton and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching private lessons since 2019 and have loved helping my students learn the basics of guitar, music theory, and musicianship. I went to SUNY Brockport and earned a degree in Psychology in 2016. Following my undergrad I took a position that allowed me to travel the United States with not much more than a duffle bag and my trusty guitar. More recently I've found myself growing roots in Rochester, New York, where I live and play music with two of my best friends. During the day I work in early school-age educational enrichment making sure my students are able to access and succeed in a constantly shifting educational environment. I'm an energetic and goal oriented person and my teaching style is fun, engaging, and detail oriented. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

    Kenton was great for my sons first lesson. Good energy, explained things well, made sure my 8 year old son was engaged, and asked what his interests are so he can tailor lessons. He also checked frequently with my son to make sure he was going at a good pace. Looking forward to the next lesson! Thanks

    Taking full advantage of our quarantine-fueled free time, several friends and I started a new musical project, The Shut-Ins. The Shut-Ins are currently in the process of writing and recording original work that we cannot wait to share!
