    Have fun learning from a Shimabukuro! Lots of fun tips and exercises to share!

    Being the younger brother of world famous ukulele player, Jake, we started playing the ukulele since we were children. I remember what it was like being a complete beginner and the steps it took to eventually record my first album and tour around the world. With over 20 years of teaching experience, I’ve managed to break down each step with fun and simple exercises. My goal for each student is to have fun while learning to play the ukulele. So if you like playing the ukulele and enjoy having fun, this might be a perfect class for you. Hope to see you soon!

    About Bruce S.

    (3)
    My name is Bruce and I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. I started playing the ukulele since I was 6 years old. The ukulele has always been something special in our family that we’d pick up and play on our free time. Most people that play the ukulele know my older brother, Jake. Being a student of his my whole life kind of helped me understand how to teach from a student’s perspective. I started teaching the ukulele at the age of 17. Since then, I’ve realized that there are a million ways to teach the same thing. I enjoy finding the right ways for each student so the lessons stick with them. I’ve recorded 4 albums and toured around the world. I truly believe that teaching is an art the same way that performing is. With over 20 years of teaching experience, I believe I’ll always be able to connect with a student and have valuable tips and exercises for them. So for anyone that‘s interested in learning with me, I’ll look forward to meeting you very soon. Thank you!
