ukulele

The ukulele has been a staple for serious musicians, tropical standards, children, and songwriter accompaniment for decades!  Its small frame and four strings (two fewer than a guitar) make it ideal for those looking to learn simple chords and melodies quickly with minimal effort.

Depending upon the student's goals, we can focus on playing basic melodies, chords and strum patterns, or just getting started.  In any case, we learn the layout of a ukulele, basic music-reading, and reading chords for accompaniment.

Materials utilized are a notebook, a pencil, a metronome, ukulele with colorful strings, and a textbook.  The student's specific interests, aspirations, age, and skill level will determine specific books, music, and the like beyond that.

Lessons are available for beginner to intermediate levels. 

Did you know that "mele" is the Hawaiian word for music?  Do you know what "paina" means?
