Ethan G. says, "Jay was my digital music production teacher at Colorado College four years ago. His teachings had a profound impact on how I create music - from the inception of a song down to the final touches of a mix. Additionally, his knowledge and love for live music is evident through his project Deth Rali, which brings unique and captivating elements to live music. He's got a proclivity towards the strange, jaw-dropping elements of performance; you can expect elaborate and clever approaches to everything he does. Over the years that I have known Jay, it's clear that he is invested in uplifting other artists and musicians. He truly cares about the artistic visions of other artists, and is sure to help bring your most imaginative visions to life." Read more

My teaching approach: I emphasize good technique and theory. I have extensive performance experience, a Master's degree in classical guitar, and have received instruction by several world famous classical guitarists, including Pepe Romero, Manuel Barrueco, Christopher McGuire, Carlos Barbosa-Lima and others. I have also performed as lead guitarist in several working bands. I enjoy teaching all styles. In my studio, electric students will plug into a tube amp, and all students will appreciate the ability to have their lessons recorded if they wish. My influences are: Slash, Joe Bonamassa, Satriani, SRV, David Russell, Manuel Barrueco, My guita...

Normalyn N. says, "My daughter started taking ukulele lessons with Eric on Zoom during the spring of the pandemic. At 10-years-old, she was the youngest and only child in a beginners group ukulele class of adults. But she held her own and with Eric's coaching, she was able to learn to play fairly quickly. It was great for her to be able to learn an instrument and have a creative outlet during that tough time of quarantine. It also sparked the beginning of her love for music that has continued to grow now as she is in her teen years. As she got older, she transitioned from ukulele lessons to private guitar (both acoustic and electric) as well as piano lessons. Through the years she has learned so much from Eric. She went from a kid with no musical background to reading music fluently, studying music theory, playing four instruments, and performing guitar solos at school concerts. It's amazing how much she was able to learn through her weekly virtual lessons with Eric. He is an amazing music teacher and great with kids. He is patient, encouraging, and able to deliver instruction in a way that makes it easy and enjoyable to learn. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a music teacher for their young kids or teens." Read more

Your Ukulele Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

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?

Reviews for Denver ukulele teachers

Recent success stories from people in the Denver area.
Deetta J.
If you're anything like me, you get frustrated and stuck trying to learn everything you want to learn off of YouTube and other tutorials alone. Finding the right teacher who can answer questions in real time can also feel somewhat challenging. That's where Jay comes in! Not only is Jay a phenomenal artist, but he is a phenomenal teacher. He is extremely knowledgeable, clear, and patient. After even just one lesson, one can expect to walk away feeling revitalized and inspired to continue forward with their music and ideas. I cannot stress enough how worth it signing up for lessons will feel!!! 10 out of 10 stars

When relocating to the area, I wanted to find a professional for my child to combine electronic music production & piano lessons. My son first worked with another music school for over a year, but didn't find the lessons as engaging. Through Moon Magnet, we were directed to the best instructor for my student's interests. He is now 12 and has been working with Joia for nearly 2 years for private instruction. From the very beginning, Joia has created a supportive and engaging learning environment that has deepened Baird's musical skills and also nurtured his passion for music. Joia tailors lessons to meet Baird's interests and abilities and incorporates fundamental to advanced concepts and techniques, making learning both enjoyable and challenging. Joia is patient, clear and encouraging, and it has been wonderful to see my student develop technical proficiency and confidence throughout the years. It’s clear Joia is not only invested in teaching, but in helping his students grow as musicians and individuals! We highly recommend Moon Magnet to anyone seeking a dedicated and skilled music teacher. I am confident other students will benefit just as much from their expertise and passion for music!

My daughter (age 8) has been taking piano lessons at the DaVinci Center for 2 years. It's truly the best investment we've made for her. She loves piano and loves her teacher, Maria! The Creations Conert, local gigs and the Multiple Piano Festival are icing on the cake! Maria is an outstanding teacher, patient, kind, very very talented, organized, and knows how to connect with the kids. We are so lucky to have The DaVinci school in our community!!

Only one session in and I can tell Mr. Duncan is a great music instructor. With his pace and calm demeanor, I could not have asked for a better instructor. He gave me the encouraging feeling that I could be a great guitar player tomorrow. I still have a long ways to go but I am definitely looking forward to our next session.

Eric is an amazing teacher! I wasn't sure how virtual lessons would work, but Eric has an amazing setup and instructions that make them wonderfully convenient and easy!
