SkillShare Making Music Ukulele For Beginners

Welcome to this beginner Ukulele class. These Ukulele lessons will start with the absolute basics, but quickly progress you towards becoming a confident and creative Ukulele player.

I love this instrument! It's portable. Suitable for all ages. And some of the simplest chords only require 1 finger.

I believe you can build confidence quickly on the ukulele, without any previous musical experience.

Learning an instrument can seem like a daunting process for some students. But with over 20 years playing & teaching experience - and a focus on encouraging self-belief and creative expression, I aim to make this an enjoyable and rewarding journey for you.

A wide range of major & minor chords
A selection of songs (with extra ones attached as PDF's)
