1-on-1 instruction individualized to each learner's unique needs and goals. Weekly ukulele lessons are perfect for complete beginners, intermediate players, or advanced players who are looking to develop new skills and further their technique. No previous experience or knowledge is required. My goal is to make music learning engaging, joyful, and frustration-free!

Possible topics that will be worked on:
-How to hold the ukulele
-How to tune the ukulele
-Playing position and rest position
-How to strum
-Proper hand and finger position
-How to read chords, tab, and music notation
-How to play chords
-How to count and play chord patterns on the ukulele
-How to play songs using chords
-How to play melodies

Bring your ukulele and any music that you may be working on! I will also provide you with exercises and songs for your skill level during our lessons.

Jackie was great with my son for his first lesson!  He is brand new to clarinet, so I expected the first lesson to be a little slow, but she walked him through proper positioning, had him reading sheet music, and he is already comfortable with three notes and songs that he can play with them.  He was grinning from ear to ear afterwards and is very excited to continue learning with her.  Jackie was patient and thorough, able to clearly communicate tips and pointers, and overall ran the lesson in a very productive and positive manner.

Miss Jackie is very patient and very clear on instructions. She makes sure you learn what she is teaching before she moves to the next step. My daughter (6 years old) are enjoying learning how to play ukulele.

I've been watching Jackie's recorded videos with my child. She's very clear and approachable for children! Her content is gold!

My daughter loves Jackie. She learned pretty quickly. She really enjoys when Jackie comes over and gives her lessons. Definitely recommend!

Kamille enjoyed meeting Jackie and she told me that she really likes her.  Jackie was very sweet and I think they will do well together.
