Learn the first steps needed to play songs on your ukulele.


What you'll learn

Play correctly right from the start. Learn some basic techniques, chords and strumming to play and sing songs. The ukulele is portable, inexpensive, fun and can lead to years of music bringing joy to your life. You just need to have a go and give yourself a good start. 


What to bring

A ukulele of reasonable quality.
An electronic clip-on tuner or a tuning app on your phone. (Kala Ukulele app is free)
Please be aware that many colourful cheaper ukuleles don't hold their tuning, hurt your fingers and are effectively toys. A slightly higher investment in a playable ukulele can still be relatively inexpensive but are more likely to lead to playing music joyfully for many years to come. Ask advice from a reputable music store that takes the ukulele seriously. I can also give you some advice on choosing a ukulele in a lesson.
