Aloha!! The ukulele is an incredibly fun instrument to learn! I currently offer lessons from beginner to intermediate levels. My method of teaching ukulele includes learning chords, rhythm, and picking the melodies. You will learn to read tablature and to even sight read with the ukulele if you so desire! Otherwise, you can learn to play beautiful ukulele chords and sing along! In these lessons you will learn: *How to make chord shapes and eliminate buzzing/muted strings *Build knowledge and skills through learning 30+ chords on the ukulele *Strum patterns (from easy to advanced) *Rhythm and how to keep a beat, plus more complex rhythms *How to sing along with your ukulele accompaniment *Basic music theory knowledge to help you understand concepts *How to pick the strings *The notes on the ukulele *How to read tablature *To expand and have fun playing such a relaxing instrument! Also, I love to teach children and adults alike! No one is too young or old to start playing the ukulele!!! You can learn to play the ukulele!! Let me help you discover your hidden potential as a multifaceted musician!!! FOR ONLINE LESSONS: I love teaching online! There is no difference in quality of learning between in-person and online lessons through my experiences with numerous students. How I teach online is through Skype or FaceTime and I write the lesson's notes in the message board for every lesson so that each student has a quick and easy reference for practice. I take detailed notes so that my students feels confident about their week's practice assignments. This also makes it easier to keep track of my students' progress through time and how I can best assist all of my students with each of their unique learning requirements. I really enjoy teaching online and it gives my students the flexibility to learn from the comfort of their own home, to have a structured and predictable format, and to enjoy their lessons without having to drive anywhere. It is also my belief that the true quality of musical progress is measured by the student's dedication and commitment to learning and implementing the techniques, so whether online or in person, the student's actions are that which generates success. You can succeed at whatever you put your mind to! Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions! I look forward to meeting you! <3

Gordon L. began playing music at a very early age but didn't begin to learn the saxophone until he was in fifth grade. Gordon's interest in music grew when he began to work sound systems for bluegrass bands and eventually he started to experiment more with music. Soon after he would pick up guitar which would spark his interest in further pursuing his playing of music. After he bought a guitar, Gordon would practice relentlessly, sometimes for as long as 12 hours a day. This passion for music allowed Gordon to go to a summer rock band camp in San Diego where he learned everything you need to know about touring, playing in a band, making a music video etc. When Gordon reached his senior year of high school he attended Perpich Center of the Performing arts in Golden Valley, Minnesota. While he was learned he took classes in ear training and music theory. He also took a Taiko drum class while he was at Perpich. Along with learning new musical concepts, Gordon also learned how the music business works which got him more interested in marketing the bands he performed in. Gordon also was able to take guitar lessons at Macphail in Minneapolis under the apprenticeship of James Allen. Gordon went on to Mesabi Range Community College where he received his Associates Degree. While there he played saxophone in the Community Band and guitar in bands he started himself. Gordon also took a banjo class, piano class and a music history class at Mesabi Range Community College. His main focus in the past years has been working with bands doing studio work, mini tours and CD production/marketing for those groups. After Community College, Gordon went to Evangel University in Missouri where he continued to study Guitar and Saxophone while picking up more woodwind and string instruments. Gordon took private guitar lessons and attended a Guitar Master Class at this college. He also attended Missouri State University where he learned about theory and composition. He also played Saxophone in the jazz band. While he attended school in Missouri he relentlessly continued to play in multiple groups live and recorded a Ska/Reggae CD (guitar and saxophone tracks) with the band Bringers of the Dawn. Gordon can fluently play and teach Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Clarinet, and Saxophone. Gordon is also willing to teach harmonica and banjo to those interested in learning. Gordon also has knowledge of several other cultural instruments with a background in piano lessons from high school and college. He got superior and excellent ratings at musical competitions for voice and saxophone in high school where he performed songs such as the Hungarian Dance #5 and Beautiful Dreamer. Gordon loves all genres of music and enjoys learning every style he can in order to improve his musical instruction. For the moment Gordon is pursuing songwriting particularly in the field of cultural music. Focusing on the students immediate musical needs, Gordon is able to encourage students to set goals in order to efficiently practice, concentrate and focus during the lesson time. Gordon is very patient with every student so that they refrain from becoming frustrated, overwhelmed or intimidated. Realizing the importance of music, Gordon makes sure that every student leaves each lesson having learned something new.
