Ukulele Lessons in Picacho, AZ

I teach the scales and chords for the ukulele first. Then we learn how to play songs and use the theory to understand how songs are created.

Ukulele is such a fun instrument to start on at anytime in life. Easy to press strings for the small child, easy to hold, easy to learn chords and songs. I will teach you to read music, tab and chord diagrams. Strumming is fun and can be done with the fingers or felt pick. I specialize in fingerstyle.

fingerpicking and harmony concepts.

From my beginner ukulele lessons, you can expect to learn various major and minor ukulele chords, how to play different strumming patterns, how to tune a uke, and how to play and sing many different songs, and styles of music!

Students can expect to learn new chords and strumming patterns along to songs of their choice.

For students who have played an instrument prior to our lessons, I try and shape a curriculum entirely based upon the specific goals of the student, and I rarely use text books although I use a lot of exercises and educational material when appropriate.  I feel learning to play and transcribe songs and solos to increase a students self reliance and confidence is my most important job.  

Most students come to me looking for structure so I try and provide a clear path to their goals. For students with no prior musical experience I use text books and exercises to strengthen their technique, expose them to musical ideas, and give them a foundation for basic theory.  After that is accomplished I move into a curriculum that is more personal to their specific goals.
