Learn to Play
Ukulele, Singing, and Songwriting Classes
are available via Zoom and in person.
You're never too young or too old to play the ukulele! This remarkably versatile instrument is easy to learn and brings great joy wherever it goes. I love to teach beginners of all ages and and do so with patience, understanding and an irrepressible sense of humor. I will also design lessons for more experienced players who are interested in learning chord melody, performance technique and "jazz" chords. I am a certified instructor in the James Hill Ukulele in the Classroom teaching method and have been teaching group classes, workshops and private lessons to adult learners since 2009. I offer private lessons to children aged 7 and up and adults of all ages.

Join us on Zoom for a fun jam and a chance to give. Each week we will jam to support a non-profit organization. We might feature a particular non-profit or just leave it up to you, but we really encourage you to give. If you make a monetary donation to a non-profit, don't forget to ask your employer to match it.
Please email for the link. Due to the risk of "zoom-bombing," we don't publish the zoom link on the website. If you sign up for our email list, you'll receive the link in our weekly reminder message.
