Styles & Genres
I love doing classic and unusual Pop & Rock covers, funky Disco tunes and classy Jazzy numbers – but I’m always up for discovering new music. I enjoy using a wide variety of strums (calypso, reggae, shuffle, creative ‘muting’) and love to play with dynamics and playful picking to enhance a song. I tend to focus on playing techniques and having fun with performance rather than getting too caught up in theory but I always provide a solid foundation of the basic essentials.
Favourite Songs to Teach
Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
Sunny Afternoon - The Kinks
Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana
Coffee & TV - Blur
The Girl from Ipanema - Antonio Carlos Jobim
Bio
Sylvia Entwistle is a fun-loving versatile singer, who has taught and performed with the ukulele for over 4 years, appearing at open-mics and on festival stages.
In London, Sylvia formed a wacky covers band with her fellow tutors, The Ukulameos, who performed at weddings and parties, but mostly had a laugh getting together to work out ridiculous covers.
