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.
Ukulele and Vocal Workshops & Camps
Upcoming Workshop: Beyond Strumming for Ukulele
Tuesday, August 15th, 2023, 6:30-8pm on Zoom. $30.
In this workshop, we'll explore finger-picking patterns, rolls, triplets, and flat-picking.
While this workshop is aimed at intermediate beginners and beyond who are already comfortable with their open chords and able to change chords smoothly, even total beginners can benefit from the class by simply focusing on what the strumming hand is doing while muting your strings. Open to all ukulele tunings.
Please register in advance for this workshop by clicking here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the workshop.

Virtual Ukulele Jam with the Honeyville Rascals
Come jam with us every Thursday on Zoom
6:30-8pm PDT
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.

Some of you have asked how you can contribute to Michael & Sunga for hosting the jams. While our first priority is raising money for the featured charities, we welcome any additional help you wish to provide for a couple of struggling musicians. You'll find ourVenmo and PayPal tip jars below. You can also donate using Zelle or by sending us an old-fashioned check. Thank you!
