Ukulele Lessons

My main goal is to help a student reach musical literacy, technical fluency, understanding of theory, form and analysis, ear training, and musicianship. I strive to strengthen a student's enthusiasm, resiliency, curiosity, understanding, problem solving skills, good practice habits, and techniques as we explore them. 

 

Lessons are tailored specifically to the student and focus on developing musicianship through a practical and classical approach to music. A practical approach will quickly help them familiarize with the instrument and its basic most popular techniques. Meanwhile, a classical approach to music will: facilitate the learning process through music literacy, establish good practice habits, create a more refined technique, and develop a more focused goal-oriented practice. 

 

Lessons are offered in person. English or Spanish. Students ages six and up with or without experience are welcome. We recommend starting from 30 minute lessons once a week for young beginner students. Adult beginners, intermediate, and advanced students are encouraged to have 45 to 60 minute lessons.

Insight

Learning to play the ukulele is a great way to get into music, especially if you are attracted to the plucked strings family. For many, the "uke" is a fun and easy way to learn your favorite songs. There are different types of ukuleles varying in tuning and sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. Learn different strumming patterns, chords, styles, scales, rhythms, and even improvisation. The ukulele is the guitar's close 'little" cousin. Small, light, affordable, and easy to learn.
