Basic understanding of the ukulele, general music theory, studying chords to build songs

I play bass and sing harmony in a professional rock band based out of Brooklyn. We have been playing together since 2016 and have done two national tours coast to coast across the United States. We have released seven music videos and three albums (currently working on our fourth). I graduated from Vassar College in 2020, where I was principal bassist in the orchestra. In college I lead three different jazz combos, played in the pit orchestras of eleven theatre productions, played in various string chamber groups, and taught electric bass to college age students. Most of my musical training is classical. Before picking up bass guitar six years ago, I played upright classical bass for eight years. In high school I had sessions with middle schoolers after school to help them improve their sight reading skills and technique on upright bass. I also founded a ukulele club in high school, where I taught other students to play and planned performances. I am a proficient ukulele player, and can teach basic keyboard, especially to young children. I have experience working with children at summer camps and babysitting. As a bass player, I know just how crucial rhythm is when it comes to playing music. Ukulele is a great instrument to break into song writing. I am happy working with students who have a range of musical interests and starting points. I can help you learn to read music, play your favorite song, perfect a sonata, sing and play at the same time, or write a punchy bass line. I look forward to meeting you!

Love to teach beginners and intermediate students. I teach all uke students how to read, theory, songs and how to understand playing the instrument solo or in a group setting. Uke is capable of doing anything, all one has to do is apply oneself and music can come flowing out of the instrument.

Lean all the basics! Basic songs, chords & melodies are taught.

Ukulele is the perfect instrument for young students learning their first instrument. It's incredibly easy to get off the ground and start making music right away. For that reason, it's one of my favorite instruments to teach, and it's the instrument I recommend to first-time music students, even if they eventually want to switch to other instruments.

Ukulele teacher experienced with teaching people aged 5-45! Whether you want to learn simple chords to play your favorite tunes or shed some licks, I pride myself in providing an accessible, comfortable learning environment whether you're just starting out or are looking to improve your musicality.

"Everyone should have and play a Uke. It's so simple to carry with you and it is one instrument you can't play and not laugh! It's so sweet and also very old--some are made of wood--some are made of armadillo's. I love them. The more the merrier. Everyone I know who is into the Uke is crackers. So get yourself a few and enjoy yourself."--George Harrison
