Ukulele Classes for Kids I offer fun group ukulele classes & lessons for kids age 5 and up. Check out my downloadable sheet music and lesson plans. Email me for more information. Easy, fun songs! Ear training & rhythm games! Easy melodies! Strum & Sing along! Ukuleles are a fantastic starter instrument for little kids, because they are easy to hold and easy on the little fingers. Plus, you can take a ukulele anywhere!

I will have some openings for new private ukulele students beginning mid-July and continuing through Fall. In the meantime, I hope one of my group classes may meet your needs.

Why Ukulele?

I taught guitar lessons for a living for ten years. In that time, I witnessed many children struggle with the instrument. Some of them persisted and triumphed, while others gave up. However, I began to believe that most of the struggle was unnecessary and unproductive, even for those who succeeded. I therefore began seeking a better way to teach.

I now strongly recommend that younger children start learning on a ukulele rather than a guitar. A ukelele is much simpler and easier to hold and play, it allows hand strength to develop slowly, and is overall a relatively painless and frustration-free entry-level instrument. Ukuleles are also available at a fraction of the price of guitars, and the knowledge is easily transferable to guitar, should the student wish to switch after a year or more of lessons. I also have developed a special curriculum for young kids that helps make learning easy and fun (see above).
