    Learn to Play a Song Quickly with Experienced Teacher of 10+ Years!

    I've been teaching ukulele for 5 years and it is one of my favorite instruments to play and teach! Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to play several chords and as time goes on you'll be able to play the songs that interest you most. I specialize in pop music and typically use the Alfred Ukulele Method for Kids books or the Hal Leonard Ukulele Books for older students. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

    Lauren is an amazing teacher. I was hesitant to try the online platform, but Lauren put my mind at ease. She knows exactly what I'm trying to say when I'm having difficulty with something. She is very patient. She is incredibly knowledgeable. I recommend her to anyone. She is amazing and I look forward to continuing our work together.
