Owen M. says, "I took guitar lessons with Jesse Kessler and they were great! Jesse is extremely knowledgable in all things music. He can answer any questions you may have about physical technique, theory, equipment, recording, teaching, etc. I had played guitar for about 2 years prior to taking lessons with Jesse and with his unique teaching style and helpful tips, my playing quickly began to improve significantly. He is an extremely friendly and patient teacher as well, and will do everything he can to make sure you are getting the most out of his lessons. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced player, I would highly recommend lessons with Jesse. " Read more

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?

Reviews for New Brunswick ukulele teachers

Recent success stories from people in the New Brunswick area.
Michael V.
I wanted to first share, before my lessons with Romantic Devil Records, I never even picked up an instrument. I thought learning to play was not something I had the time for or even the skills to do. I first tried to learn via an app and it just didn't work for me. I have been taking lessons with Carla for many years and I was wrong. Carla was able to personalize my lessons based on how I learn. It goes beyond playing, she also knows music theory and history. With Carla's teaching I learned how to play the guitar, piano and even the harmonica! She starts you with the basics and then breaks down the songs you love to hear and sing along to into a fun lesson. I am now playing more advanced songs and even have written a song with her help. Being able to play music has had such a positive impact in my life. I appreciate everything I have learned and continue to learn each lesson. And also have some fun and laughs along the way. Thank you Carla and Romantic Devil Records! I highly recommend!

I have been getting guitar lessons with Bryan for over two years. As a forty something year old, who can be very stuck in his ways, Bryan has been abundantly patient with my slow learning process. He is thoroughly knowledgable of the guitar, adapts to my learning curve, finds real life examples that helps move me along in the right direction. So very thankful I decided to go with Bryan as my teacher. He does the music world good simply being the kind of teacher he is.

Lessons with Tim were always fun and productive. He gave specific suggestions about technique to give me a better sound and he taught me a variety of ways to practice that continue to help me learn and understand jazz standards today. In addition to all of this, Tim is very encouraging and he creates a safe and fun learning environment.

When we decided to send our daughter for violin classes, we started to look and find for a good music school. We are glad that we found octopus music school in New Brunswick. This is a very good school. The teachers are very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, always advising on our child's progress. Our daughter is enjoying the classes very much. We have noticed a big change in our daughter's music and it's helping her in singing and playing other instruments too. Would like to recommend the octopus music school to all others.

James is a FANTASTIC guitar player and musician. His knowledge of the instrument, as well as theory, is rare, and his positive and encouraging attitude makes him a joy to work with! I would recommend him to anyone, from beginners to more advanced students. You will NOT regret signing up for lessons!
