My way of teaching is a very intuitive one, I listen to what my students say they want to learn, what they're interested in musically and go in that direction.. all the while focusing on the fundamentals of guitar, such as good techniques in body & hand position, strumming & picking and proper fretboard fingering. I believe in getting the best sound out of whichever note or chord you play, so good technique is always part of that process. One of my best attributes is patience and not judging my students in a personal way at all. They trust me and know I'm in their corner, so they make progress at their pace. I have a lot of respect for each...

I was an original member of the Broadway show Beatlemania. I elected to go my own route. I was a staff songwriter in Los Angeles at A&M Records. I have vast experience. I'll teach you how to play music, what's important to know to be able to play. I won't bog you down with theory, I'll get you to be able to play at a fast clip. Needless to say I do not only know Beatles songs, but they are great to know in the pop genre. If you know the Beatles music you'll be able to play in any genre of popular music. I've also done a lot of session work. ( I did one session with the Wrecking Crew ) On the rare occasion you get a student that has the natura...

Hi congratulations on your decision to take on guitar. I can honestly say that I have gotten more joy and sense of accomplishment since I started my guitar journey 10 yrs ago than any other endeavor I've I've ever taken up. , I'm advanced in guitar playing and theory. I believe both are necessary for a well rounded player to thrive although everyone has different learning styles which is why I try very hard to taper my teaching style to each student. I'm highly adaptable and easy going. For example I have always been able to learn through reading about a subject then applying what I've learned. However, I've had students who are much m

I have years of experience playing piano in church, where I’ve learned to lead worship, accompany choirs, and support congregational singing. Through this, I developed strong skills in playing by ear, following different music styles, and creating a warm and uplifting atmosphere through music. As a teacher, I can help students learn how to play chords, read music, and develop a natural sense of rhythm and expression. I can also teach how to play for live services, transitions between songs, and how to work with singers and other musicians. What makes me a good teacher is my patience, my ability to explain things clearly, and my passion for

Hello, if you are looking for a guitar instructor that is easy going and chill, that's me. I've been in a few bands in which I co wrote most of the lyrics and music. I specialize in begginers because I have more fun with them. Intermediate to experienced players have more specific needs. I do this for fun! I am no virtuoso, I want to be clear about that. I'm not flashy, nor do I have an ego. I am very humble. I have taught many beginners and had fun doing it. I use a lesson plan which I ve put together that incorporates theory, technique and creativity. I'm looking forward to learning with you!

Your Ukulele Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much do ukulele lessons cost?

In-person ukulele lessons cost $30 to $60 per hour on average to learn with a private instructor. 1-hour group ukulele classes cost $18 to $30 per student. Some music studios offer new student specials and sell discounted multiple-session packages that reduce the cost per class.

  • Online ukulele lessons cost $10 to $30 per month for subscription-based websites offering access to pre-recorded classes. While pre-recorded lessons are not the same as a real-time instructor, some websites allow you to submit practice videos for teacher review and feedback.
  • Online ukulele lessons using live webcam video calling with a private instructor cost $25 to $60+ per hour, depending on the teacher's experience and reputation.

Keep in mind you will also need to purchase a ukulele to practice in between lessons. Most entry-level ukuleles cost $50 to $150, while higher-end models cost $200 to $500+.

Is ukulele easy to learn, and can I teach myself?

Learning to play the ukulele can be easy and fun! Ukuleles are small and only have 4 strings, making chords and scales easy to learn and play without putting too much stress on your arms, wrists, and fingers. Additionally, ukulele strings are made of soft nylon, making them easier on your fingertips than guitar strings.

You can teach yourself to play the ukulele using YouTube videos and other free resources, but this method lacks structure and may take longer to see progress than if you learn with an instructor. A professional ukulele teacher can guide you in the right direction and save you from developing unhelpful habits early on in your practice.

How long does it take to learn ukulele?

While every individual is different, in general, it takes about 3 to 6 months of consistent practice to learn and become comfortable playing the ukulele. Practicing many hours per day may yield quicker results. That said, you can likely learn enough basic chord shapes and strumming patterns to play many favorite pop songs in just a matter of weeks, or even days.

How do I choose the best ukulele lessons near me?

When searching for ukulele lessons near you, be sure to:

  • Choose a teacher or music studio that has been in business 5+ years and is licensed and insured.
  • Check out their profile and reviews from past students on Lessons.com and Google.
  • Look for a teacher who has a flexible schedule that matches your needs.
  • Discuss your specific goals and ask them how they will structure their lessons to help you meet them.

What questions should I ask when searching for ukulele lessons?

Finding a ukulele instructor whose personality and teaching style meshes well with your own can make a huge difference in your learning and progress. Asking the right questions can help you choose the best ukulele teacher for you:

  • How long have you been playing and teaching ukulele?
  • What qualifications do you have?
  • What styles of ukulele do you teach?
  • Do I need to buy a ukulele to take lessons?
  • How long will it take for me to learn to play the ukulele?
  • How often and how long should I practice?
  • What is your cancellation policy? 
  • Are you running any new student specials or discounts?
