Who are ukulele lessons for?

Ukulele is perfect for:

✔ Complete beginners looking to learn a new instrument
✔ New players who’d like to begin with a smaller, more beginner-friendly instrument before exploring guitar
✔ Kids (ages 7+)
✔ Adults looking to take up a new hobby or join a band

✔ Students preparing for performances or auditions

No prior experience required, learn a new instrument from scratch!


WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

I personalize each and every lesson with exercises based around picking and strumming techniques, and I transcribe your favourite songs – all using pro music software so it’s easier to read! And I can supplement lessons with music theory.

The overall lesson plan typically includes a (1) warm up, (2) chord/strumming exercise, (3) picking/melodic exercise, and (4) song.

Topics that can be covered (but not exclusive to):

  • Chords (open chords, 7th chords, barre chords, how to use a capo)
  • Strumming patterns & rhythm skills
  • Picking techniques (hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, etc…)
  • Fingerstyle and strumming techniques
  • Song structure & songwriting
  • Playing confidently with others
  • Theory (how to make chord progressions, riffs, etc…)

You’ll build skills step-by-step so that you can learn and understand the songs you love most!


Ukulele Lessons for Kids

For my younger students, I always try to make music lessons fun and engaging:

  • I teach core concepts with a more fun and straightforward approach (like using fruit names to count rhythms)
  • I can simplify chords and rhythms to help kids start playing their favourite songs faster
  • I add pictures to music notation to make sheet music more intuitive for kids to read

My lesson plans for kids centres around music games and activities, sing-a-longs, and songs that kids are more likely to know, like theme songs, folk songs, film music, and pop songs!
