Overview
Our ukulele instructors teach folk, country, pop, reggae and rock-n-roll styles. Beginners work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory.

We employ a variety of ukulele method books based on student needs and preferences, and encourage students to bring smartphones or CDs to their lessons to learn their favorite tunes. Ages 5 and up.

What will I learn from ukulele lessons at the Academy?
