Ukulele Lessons in Chatsworth, CA

I work with the student to develop a curriculum based on their musical interests and my own teaching pedagogy. I strongly feel that for musicians to own their education, they must have a say in what they play. Assigning method books and mindless etudes to practice doesn't have nearly the same effect asking them "Ok, what kind of music do YOU like? What do you want to PLAY? What do you want to LEARN?".

I believe that students learn best when they are invested in a subject, and the best way to get them invested is to individually get to know each one, speak to them on their level, and get them playing music they're interested in.

Ukulele is a very fun instrument, and it's especially great for beginner musicians, or guitarists who want some new inspiration. When I decided to learn ukulele, I found it very rewarding. I even ended up building my own! So, sign up! Let's get started! You won't regret it.
