Ukulele, Novice

Wednesdays: September 23, 30; October 7, 14, 21, 2026.

3:00–4:00 p.m. Central Time.

Five 60-minute sessions. $120 per course.

This is a standalone course.

Every song in this course will receive two useful arrangements. First, we’ll learn the backup chords so you can accompany singing or another instrument. Then we’ll create a very simple chord-melody arrangement that lets you play the melody and chords together.

We’ll work on steady strumming, smooth chord changes, easy fingerpicking, and finding melody notes around familiar chord shapes. I’ll also use my new interactive ukulele chord and fretboard tool to show how the chords, melody notes, and fretboard fit together.

Each song will begin simply and gradually become more complete. By the end, you’ll have music you can play two different ways and a better understanding of how to make your own arrangements.

Bring a four-string soprano, concert, or tenor ukulele tuned GCEA. Either a regular high G or a low G is fine. Song sheets, chord references, and other practice materials will be provided.

I’ll record each entire live session from beginning to end. You’ll receive all five complete session videos whether or not you attend live, so you can review the instruction, practice along again, or catch up on anything you miss.
