BEGINNERS & ADVANCEDUkulele Lessons

I had been playing ukulele in my band, Dirty Dishes for over 16 years. Eventually, people began to ask me to teach their kids how to play! I found the best training there is, and I am so proud that I have my level 3 certification from James Hill’s Ukulele Initiative. I now teach at my home studio as well as for the incredible Melanie Doane and her Doane Music School program. I am so thrilled to be teaching ukulele and sharing my love of singing and playing with kids and adults alike.

LISA'S OWNRedwood Babies

These classes are magic. The connection and bond that grows between baby and parent/caregiver is so beautiful to watch. The joy in the baby/toddler’s face when they feel and hear their own musical growth is just astounding to me. This pre-Suzuki baby music class is perhaps my favorite class to witness. Dr. Suzuki believed that music was for all children and that we are all musical beings.

I started my own kids in the class, formally known as Lovenotes when they were babies and I am deeply indebted to Alison Porter for bringing such rich musical pedagogy to our community. My kids have been playing violin for a number of years with the rudiments laid all the way back at 6 months old. I am so delighted to be continuing on with these classes under my own name.

Choir

Kids love to sing; it’s how we share stories, learn rhythm, rhyme, counting, math and it’s just plain fun!
As my own kids were growing, I realized that there was a missing spot musically for children between the baby music classes and when it’s time to start kids on instruments. So, I started a Kindie Choir! We focus on singing as well as basic music theory, note recognition, solfege and rhythm games. We perform a minimum of two concerts per year.

Kindie Choir – Join any time!
Wednesday 3:20 – 3:50 (pick up from Roden/Equinox)

About Lisa

Hi! My name is Lisa Olafson. I am a musician, an actor, a clown and a mom of two musicians! I have been happily living and making music in the Greenwood and Gerrard area for 15 years. Eleven years ago, I ‘hung up my sign’,  Redwood Ukes and started out with 2 classes a week. My school and my teaching have grown in so many exciting directions. I could never have imagined that I would be enjoying this incredible life of music that I have.

I love teaching music for babies and toddlers or to join in the chorus with the Kindie’s and Primary kids and I am thrilled to be teaching, young and old, the beautiful, Ukulele, the happiest instrument of all!
