Ukulele
Little hands, big songs.
Move those fingers. Ideally suited to young hands, playing the ukulele fine tunes fine-motor skills. Our students practice strumming, picking, and chord formation as they progress from simple exercises to playing full songs.
Join the band. While our students each progress at their own pace, based on age and experience level, we always make time to play as a group, so that everyone shares in the joy of making music together.
Get individual instruction. Our instructors take time with each student to assess their skill level, offer individual feedback, promote good technical habits, and find the right songs to engage their musical tastes.
Take your ukulele home with you.
Extra Ed provides ukuleles with nylon strings to each student. Between classes students take their instruments home to practice and serenade their families (the serenade is optional).
