ukulele lessons
Learn to play the ukulele in our fun private lessons. Learn basic chords, strumming patterns, how to read a chord chart and lead sheet, as well as the basics of music theory.
Ukuleles are one of the easiest instruments for beginners to learn. There are only four strings and, unlike the guitar, fretting is easy to do. Ukulele chords are simplistic and don’t require odd hand and finger movements. During music lessons, beginning ukulele students learn how to strum and pick and soon they are making music on their own.
As a first instrument, ukuleles teach kids about music and music theory. Through ukulele lessons, a child learns about beat, harmony, melody, rhythm, and tempo. The ukulele also helps children develop eye-hand coordination as well as independent movement of fingers. If you have a child who wants to eventually learn the guitar, starting with a ukulele often makes the process easier and less frustrating.
Many kids want to learn to play the guitar, but their little hands aren’t big enough to wrap around the neck. If your child is interested in the guitar, consider introducing the ukulele first. Not only is it similar, but it’s small enough for a child’s hands to easily manipulate. And because it’s so small, a ukulele can be hauled around to practice and other places without issue. Many are small enough to fit in backpacks.
