Ukulele, Novice

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

10:00–11:00 a.m. Central / 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. Eastern.

Five 60-minute sessions. $120 per course.

This is a standalone course.

I’ll show you how to play every song we cover in three steps. First, we’ll learn the chords so you can back up singing or another instrument. Next, we’ll learn to play the melody on its own. Then we’ll put the chords and melody together and play both at the same time. That’s called chord-melody, and we’ll keep the arrangements simple.

We’ll work on steady strumming, smooth chord changes, and a little fingerpicking. I’ll show you where the melody notes sit around familiar chord shapes, using my interactive ukulele chord and fretboard tool to help you see what’s happening. We’ll start simply and add a little at a time.

This is a novice course. You should have some experience playing your ukulele and know a few basic chords. 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 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 and practice along at your own pace.
