Craig Moore
About
With more than 50 years of experience teaching and performing music, I help students build real ukulele skills, play the songs they love, and become more confident musicians. I’m Craig, a professional ukulele teacher, performer, and Berklee alumnus who has been teaching and playing music since 1976. I’m also the former owner of Aloha Music Studio in Chiang Mai, where I taught students of all ages and skill levels.
I offer personalized online ukulele lessons for beginners of all ages, Children 5 and up, one Parent with one child 3 years and up, couples, Senior Citizen individuals or groups, experienced ukulele players, School Music Teachers and experienced musicians. Whether you want to accompany your singing, improve your technique, learn fingerstyle, strums, learn to read TABlature for ukulele or simply enjoy playing more confidently, you’ll receive clear guidance and practical instruction tailored to your goals.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is friendly, encouraging, practical, and focused on steady progress. Because every student is different, I tailor each lesson to your musical interests, experience, goals, and available practice time.
I believe learning music should be both enjoyable and rewarding. I explain concepts clearly, demonstrate techniques step by step, and help you understand not only what you are playing, but also why it works.
Curriculum
My approach is so simple I refer to it as the KISS Method. Keep It Simple Stupid ("stupid" being me):We will learn what to practice, how to practice and why, how to learn chords the fastest way possible. Teaching Ukulele is My art. My goal is to get you to your goal as fast as possible. There is magic in playing music and ukulele. Teachers are not the magic, I consider myself like a bus driver. I get you to where you are going as fast and easy as possible, not wasting time on unnecessary things. I will provide tou with all the material you need and help you learn how to use everything that is already available to you.
Progress comes from effective practice between lessons. I provide clear assignments, demonstrate how to practice them, and explain what to focus on next.
Whether you are just starting or want to take your playing further, I’ll provide practical exercises and a lesson plan tailored to your goals, helping you play the music you love with greater confidence, understanding, and enjoyment.
