Beginning Ukulele
About Beginning Ukulele
Learn to play the ukulele! The ukulele is a great, easy string instrument to play, and I will help you through the process. I guarantee you will be able to play at least one song at the end of your first lesson! I am a certified music teacher and for the past several years I have taught beginning ukulele classes each day at school. If you practice 15-30 minutes each day outside of class, I know I can help you be successful!

I have loved music my entire life. Some of my earliest memories are of playing on my mom's piano. I started singing in choir when I was 5, started piano when I was 7 and started French Horn at 12. I haven't ever stopped. I became a music teacher and for the last 16 year so have taught middle school band, general music and ukulele full time.
