Do you love classical music? Want to learn how to play fingerstyle? In this class, we will work on learning to play beautiful classical music on the ukulele. Each week, we will start our lesson with a warm-up and work on advancing our fingerpicking techniques. Catherine carefully selects the pieces to be fun to learn, but also improve our classical music skills. We will take time to notice the different harmonies that are present and break down the pieces measure by measure. This class is appropriate for players who are comfortable reading TAB or musical notation, have some experience with fingerpicking and want to further develop their fingerstyle technique. Lessons are recorded for students who miss a class or who want to review. (There is an additional $20 ebook that you need to buy for these lessons.)

We will work on how to switch chords smoothly, how to strum and sing at the same time, and learn different strumming patterns. This class is great for anyone who already knows a few chords like C, G, Am, and F. Lessons are recorded for students who miss a class or who want to review.

“You’re THE BEST Catherine! 😍🎻🎶”
—Genevieve, February 2023
“The pieces Catherine chooses are so much fun to play and familiar enough that I can practice my singing while strumming. The class is a joyful way to start the weekend off!”

“You are so super cool with your song selections. Keeps me coming back.”
—Barb, April 2023
“I love this class. Catherine's musical choices, often her own compositions are beautiful, both to listen to and to play. Fingerpicking on the ukulele is a total joy for me, which is a bonus of the class, because not only do I hone a new skill that I take to the other uke music I play, it lends itself to a meditative mood that is perfect start to the morning.”
—MBS, February 2023

“I really like your method of teaching. You never rush us through the pieces. I also love your arrangements of many familiar and popular pieces of music. The various classical pieces are also quite beautiful.”
