Kurt W. says, "I have been taking blues guitar lessons with Jeff for the past 5 months and found him to be a great and knowledgeable instructor. We focused mostly on tablature and chord diagrams for music documentation. Songs have ranged from classic delta blues to James Taylor and beyond. I highly recommend him for what I was doing, and can only assume that his skill at guitar instruction would carry over to the other things he instructs as well. " Read more

One of the reasons I love teaching music is because it opens the door to great opportunities for my students. For those students who are learning to develop their singing voice or play an instrument, music is an experience that activates creative genius. My students learn how to train their ear to recognize musical patterns in the songs they’re learning to sing and play as they develop the skills to recognize when their voice and instrument are out of tune. I also coach students in how to play their music and practice between lessons so that they are building their music muscles as they become strong musicians. I’ve been teaching voice, pi

My teaching approach: My approach is, the first lesson is about discovering your students intent with the instrument. Whether they are planning on playing around the campfire, or playing in front of crowds. If they are going to play with other musicians, or by themselves. Requirements are different, depending on those criteria. Next come the basics, chords, picking techniques, and so on. My guitar lessons take place in: In the teacher's studio Guitar Lessons with me take place in the following areas: In home studio lessons on Monday and Saturday mornings Guitar Techniques: Lead guitar, Rhythm guitar, Open tuning, Slide Guitar, Vocal Accompani...

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?

My husband and I have enjoyed ukulele lessons with Jeff Saxon for almost three years now, starting with in-person lessons, then successfully switching to online ( Zoom) lessons during the pandemic. In our 70’s now, never having learned a musical instrument, we considered ourselves a challenge. But Jeff is so highly skilled as a musician, composer and teacher that we not only learned a lot, but had fun doing it. Accomplished and flexible in many styles of music,Jeff encourages creativity and self-expression for all his students, regardless of their age or skill level. With Jeff, you can go as advanced or as basic as as you want. With him, it’s not one size fits all. He is great at finding music that fits our wide-ranging tastes, then he works with the music if necessary to make it playable for our skill level, which is getting better and better. Jeff is even helpful now with our attempts at song writing. The guy is an amazing teacher. So glad we found him!
