Testimonials

- Nick

“I like that you show a first person and second person view of the neck as well as the string picking. Makes it a lot easier to visualize and follow along with every segment you break down”

- Kelly Robinson

FAQs

If your child is able to hold this small instrument easily.
We recommend a concert or tenor sized ukulele for the ease of playing. Smaller soprano uke’s can be tricky to tune and harder for small hands to finger well. Here is our recommended uke: https://www.sweetwater.com/kala-the-waterman/series
Ukulele’s are normally played with just the fingers so no pick is necessary!
You will need an electronic tuner. We recommend a Snark clip-on tuner. These are available on Sweetwater for under $15. Here’s a link: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SnarkST-2--snark-st-2-clip-on-super-tight-chromatic-all-instrument-tuner
While our videos are filmed with a right hand perspective, we find that left handers are quite adept and interpreting the fingerings and strumming in our videos.
Lessons range from 5 to 20 minutes depending on the content covered. We do recommend that students also practice on their own for 15 minutes a day to make the best improvement in playing.
Play Along tracks included are Shake It Off by Taylor Swift, This Little Light Of Mine, Stitches by Shawn Mendez, Love Yourself by Justin Beiber, Counting Stars by One Republic, Best Day Of My Life by American Authors, and Perfect by One Direction.
We offer a 30 day money-back guarantee.
