ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
After publishing her MA in Music dissertation on ukulele song sheets in 2018, Anne Ku founded a ukulele club in Historic Lower Mills, meeting weekly with a different theme each time. She then taught ukulele courses at adult education establishments in Arlington, Cambridge, and Milton.
Since March 2020, she has been teaching almost exclusively online in Zoom and arranging music for the ukulele. Fall 2023 music courses include ukulele, piano, and songwriting.
Anne started several music series in Zoom, two of which she continues to host more than three years later. She hosts 3 Chord Thursday, the thematic recorded online song session series, and the monthly meetups for Ukulele Instructors International.
TESTIMONIALS
Ukulele Bootcamp was the 5th or 6th class that I’ve taken with Anne. If there are holes in your ukulele knowledge, this class will catch them. A good amount of time was spent learning about your singing voice as it relates to a song. It is a great class with inspiring lessons and performances, along with fun group interaction. Anne always follows up immediately with class notes and videos which is so helpful. I highly recommend.
Bootcamp (or its progeny, if no longer named this) is good for a general expansion of ukulele playing. It’s beyond basic chords, but covers a little of all the other “special” classes. You’ll understand more about relationships within keys, more about strums, more about picking, more about performing. It’s like the sunflower course, expanding from the center.
I highly recommend this class. I’ve taken it twice, and it was different each time. The focus is mostly on strumming, but you learn different patterns, challenging songs, and a little music theory. A great overview for beginners and advanced beginners. Anne is a patient teacher who is nimble enough to adjust the materials and pace to suit her students.
This is the course to move you beyond beginning ukulele. Anne has the chops and communicates the “How To” in an engaging and very easy-to-grasp manner. It really helped me understand new concepts and learn skills that I may have missed earlier. It made me a better ukulele player. I am so glad I took this course.
