I have been teaching in and around Pittsburgh for around 13 years now. Have taught guitar, banjo, and ukulele to everyone from kindergarteners to Hollywood movie stars. I try to teach not just how to read and music theory, but appreciation and love of music as well. I also try to cater to what the individual student is looking for. I have always loved music since as long as I can remember and have loved the guitar since I was about 7 years old. I love seeing the look in someone’s eyes when they finally achieve something they’ve worked hard for....

My name is Eric Sebula, I have been playing guitar for over 20 years. Would you to like to learn how to play your favorite songs, or have you ever thought of writing and recording your own music...... just don’t know where to begin. As a teenager I learned by ear and took lessons from a local shred guitarist. From there I went on to pursue a Bachelors degree in Music while being classically trained by a member of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. I’ve written and recorded three albums, played countless shows and still continue to write new music. I cater the lessons to the individual student and my only rule is that we have fun along the way...

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?

William has been instrumental in my journey in learning how to play the viola. I had no prior musical experience, but with his guidance I have come a long way as an adult student in just a few months. He has provided me not only with the resources and tools to build my skills, but also the confidence and desire to stick with it. I look forward to my weekly lessons with William because he is a wonderful teacher and truly such a kind person. He is an extremely talented and knowledgeable instructor, with an innate ability to connect with his students and draw on their strengths to maximize the experience. He has made what seemed like a daunting task of learning an instrument excitingly doable, as I walk away after my lessons each week feeling like I’ve made new progress and learned something new. I am so thankful that I stumbled across his profile here on lessons.com because he is the kind of teacher that you can tell is truly passionate about what he does and I genuinely enjoy his company during our lessons. Highly recommend, one of the best teachers I have ever had!!
