Will you learn to play the ukulele? Yes! What makes it possible is The Ukulele Playbook which I've revised continuously since 2015, pairing it up with this companion website. It contains 8 weeks of online lessons so you can practice long after class. After our the bootcamp, you will be familiar enough with everything you need to know and can proceed through 8 lessons at your own pace. Rest assured, you will have unlimited access to all 8 weeks of lessons after we are done with class.

I know you will find tremendous value in the workbook (playbook). The $25 material can be paid for with cash, check, or Venmo on the day of class. If you prefer to pay by credit card, please do so here before class.

As alumni, I will automatically add you to my 'song-of-the-month' email where I send out a new song every month (you can opt out anytime). Also, if you are on Facebook, join the Ukulele 101 Facebook group for more news, tips, more lessons, and uke-related events.

Pre-Tuning your ukulele is important!

New or old strings on a ukulele tend to go out of tune frequently until they are stretched out. The best thing you can do to prepare for class is to tune your Ukulele often. Several times a day if possible. If it's a brand new uke, tune it up as often as you can.

Here is more guidance on tuning if you need it.

There's also a tuning video on YouTube to help you tune up:

I highly recommend you take this introductory 30 minute lesson. It covers far more basic material than I will and I can tell a big difference between those who took it and those who didn't during class.

In this lesson, you will learn:
