We’ll work on singing and playing at the same time, learning either the songs that you love or songs suggested by the teacher that fit your current level.

Transitioning from ukulele to guitar

Many of our students also choose to transition to guitar after mastering the ukulele. You’ll have a lot of the technical and musical skills necessary at this point to advance from four strings to six quite easily. Many younger students take this route. However, the ukulele is so much fun and so easy to travel with that most students eventually come back to it.

Committed adult students can often find themselves strumming some of their favorite tunes in just a few weeks.
