Ronin Wong
"Our ukulele curriculum is divided into Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. The complete course of study covers many styles of music playable on the ukulele.
While respect is given to traditional ukulele styles, there is also a strong emphasis on adapting the ukulele to whatever style of music you choose. From classical and Tin Pan Alley to blues, bluegrass, country, jazz, pop, rock, and even hip hop, recent developments have shown the uke to be capable of all these styles.
Both instrumental playing and accompanying for singing will be covered in this unique and dynamic program. Speed of progress through each level depends upon the student’s ability and upon the quality of their practice.
For very motivated students, additional topics of interest include electric ukulele, songwriting, performing for a live audience, and making music videos using up to date digital audio and video techniques."
