Welcome to my "ukulele is fun" program, Grand Junction
History of the Ukulele
The story goes:
- In 1879, Portuguese immigrants arrived after a long journey.
- In celebration, they played a small guitar-like instrument called a machete, and their fingers were moving so fast, the Hawaiians called it the jumping flea...

Ukulele Lessons for Ages 7 and Up
If you or your child has an interest in guitar, then you might want to consider taking this easy Ukulele course first because it is a great introduction to learning the guitar. The Ukulele is easier to play and will help you learn the fundamentals of guitar. It is a great choice for young children who aren't quite ready to play the guitar yet. And it is strongly recommended to learn 1 year of piano before taking ukulele or guitar.
Or maybe you just want to play the Ukulele and nothing else. For whatever you reason you have, this course is just for you.
In this class, you or your child will learn the following:
- The history of the Ukulele
- The difference between the Ukulele and other stringed instruments.
- The different types of Ukuleles
- The strings and how to play them
- And of course notes, chords, tab, strumming patterns and so much more all while playing a lot of really great songs.
If you want to learn Ukulele with a family member or a friend, let me know and we can set up a class.
