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?

Pat Balder is an exceptional singing teacher. His training and background see him combining the best parts of traditional and contemporary vocal practice. He has built his own approach, merging parts of other disciplines such as SLS, Estil, Opera and more. Even online he has been able to work bringing my voice to a level at which I am thrilled - I've found the voice I always wanted. Pat has a great ear for hearing the parts of your voice that need refining, and even online he notices subtle physical nuances. He's also an amazing singer who can do almost any style. And he's a kind-hearted, charming guy. I couldn't recommend him more!

I've been taking lessons with Mike for a few years now and I'm very happy with the progress I've made. Mike is a great teacher, he's very knowledgeable and talented, and he does a really good job of incorporating my questions and interest into our lessons. He gives me good constructive feedback and always has good suggestions on how to improve. Mike has a lot of real world experience playing in bands and recording and producing music which he also works into our lessons and I find that to be incredibly valuable as well. If you're looking for a guitar teacher I would highly recommend Mike.

I have had multiple guitar instructors over the years, but Mark exceeds them all. He not only brings talent and knowledge, but a sincere passion and excitement to help his students realize their dream. He is extremely flexible in terms of scheduling, changes, and even adjusting his lessons to suit the desire of the student. As an adult student, his lessons accommodate both my busy schedule and my "old fingers". On top of all his musical knowledge and expertise, he is genuinely a kind, honest, and outstanding person. I have never met a guitar instructor as great as Mark!

Good at guiding you through how to play guitar in a simple but systematic way. It was fun being able to apply what we learned at each lesson by learning a new song and jamming together as a group. I liked how he would show alternative chord shapes that were easier to play or sounded better in addition to the standard chords.
