Music for kids
Musicians… We march to a different drum and hear a different language…
A language still quite natural to children yet requiring inspiration and gentle encouragement to grow.I love helping children develop their love and understanding of Music in the manner of learning that suits them bested encourages their own creativity and songwriting. Theres time enough for theory as we go along but let’s keep the magic alive.
A fully trained James Hill teacher, I am currently teaching children from the Rock school graded Ukulele method (AMEB) so kids get a real understanding of Music as well as playing and singing the songs they love. My teaching work is fun and taught within the container of a caring relationship.
Developed over 7 years teaching Ukulele in Nz primary Schools, “Dragon Uke” is a simple way to share Ukulele joy with kids from 7 – 10 years old.
The first 7 songs have the chords spoken as played. Download the charts above for free. It’s best for you to learn as well as your child and play together. Repetition is all – so play play play!
