Instrument path

Ukulele

Demo preview. The lesson paths, fees, and saved progress on this site are not the school's final offer.

A ukulele on coral and teal cloth

A shorter first path for the ukulele. Four strings and small chords make the early changes easier than on guitar. You still start with the hold and the string names, then one chord, then a slow strum, then a change. The path stops at three chords in a row. It is not a songbook.

First lessons. A soprano, concert, or tenor ukulele all work.
