In this 5-week course of 90-minute classes we will learn the basics of the ukulele (g-C-E-A tuned). This easy and fun to play instrument can either be used to accompany a wide variety of songs with chords or for playing single note melodies; we’ll learn both skills.
To make the uke as easy to learn as possible, melody playing will be taught with both tab and notation. Chords will then be taught one key at time in order of difficulty, covering the keys most often used, by players of the guitar and other fretted instruments, so you can start playing right away with your musical friends. Using a variety of strumming and picking patterns, we’ll learn classic songs from the country, folk, pop/rock, blues, and Tin Pan Alley repertoires.

Now based in Connecticut, Glenn has taught students of all ages and levels how to play guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, fiddle, ukulele, and electric bass for over 40 years. Acoustic Guitar magazine has called him a “master teacher.” The styles he teaches include folk, bluegrass, blues, Celtic music, old-time string band music, classical guitar, fingerstyle guitar, and classic rock. Glenn is the author of nine books on fingerstyle guitar and six books on harmonica, and has written for Acoustic Guitar and Sing Out! magazines.
