Step-by-step learning

One of the biggest problems you can face when learning music is frustration. It can be an obstacle to enjoyment and ultimately it might cause you to give up. Frustration arises from working on the wrong material. It could be material in the wrong order or given to you at the wrong time, whatever the case it can make you feel like you are not good enough. But its not you, it is the disorganized way you have been learning.

The step-by-step pathway that you find in the Cornerstone Method will guide you on your musical journey with the right materials in the right order. It will help you focus, give you guidance, and motivate you to practice.

Level 1  The Fingerstyle Ukulele course starts with a comprehensive introduction to fingerstyle ukulele playing with set up for both right and left hands, technique for relaxation, tone, and control. It guides from the very beginning to learn notation and read note names in first position. You will find exercises to accompany all of the lessons so you can develop your technique with focused materials.

By Level 2 you will find yourself learning right hand arpeggios and accompaniment figures. Simple pieces like Amazing Grace and traditional Hawaiian songs are provided for you to work on each technique.

Level 3 is all about playing pieces. Jeff has composed original pieces that are designed to move you forward one step at a time. Enjoy making music while you build your fingerstyle skills.

In Level 4 you will once again get to play beautiful pieces but this time you can work on pieces from the classical period.
